Anthony Joseph and the Modern Sonnet

  • The Moat 176 Little Lonsdale Street Melbourne, VIC, 3000 Australia (map)

Join us downstairs at the Moat for a captivating conversation with award-winning poet, novelist, academic, and musician Anthony Joseph, as he discusses and reads from his acclaimed collection, Sonnets for Albert, winner of this year's prestigious TS Eliot Prize for Poetry.

Hailed by the TS Eliot Prize judges as 'luminous' and 'courageous', Joseph's largely autobiographical collection explores themes of absent fathers, childhood solitude, and the unreliability of memory.

Speaking with Maxine Beneba Clarke as part of the Wheeler Centre's World of Words, Joseph will share insights into his creative process, his varied career from poetry to music, and the influence of his Trinidadian heritage on his writing.

Don't miss your chance to delve into the mind of a masterful poet and experience the power of his words firsthand.
