Winner ofthe T.S. Eliot Prize 2022
With Sonnets for Albert,Anthony Joseph returns to the autobiographical material explored in his earlier collectionBird Head Son. In this follow-up,he weighs the impact of being the son of an absent,or mostly absent,father.
Though these poems threaten to break under the weight of their emotions,they are always masterfully poised as the stylish man they depict.
