Snowdonia

Saturday morning
Climbing through Snowdon in a gust of fine rain
down from devil's kitchen
picking up crytstals
on the shores of Llyn Idwal

I came across your name by chance. I'm a writer, artist and tutor. I thought you might like to share some of my written work on:

About Me

Anthony Joseph is a Trinidadian born poet, novelist, academic and musician who has been described as ‘the leader of the black avant-garde in Britain’, fusing calypso rhythms with a post-modern sensibility. His publications include Desafinado (1994), Teragaton (1997), Liquid Textology (CD) (2005) and The African Origins of UFOs (Salt, 2006). In 2004 he was chosen by the Arts Council as one of 50 black and Asian writers who have made major contributions to contemporary British literature, appearing in the historic ‘Great Day’ photograph taken at the British Library. In 2005 he was the British Council's first poet in residence at California State University in Los Angeles. He performs internationally solo and with his Jazz quartet The Spasm Band and lectures in creative writing at Birkbeck College, University of London and at Goldsmiths College where he is also completing a PhD.
