Poet, novelist and performer Anthony Joseph is currently hailed ‘the leader of the black avant-garde in Britain’. He was raised in Trinidad and now he shares his surrealistic experience of diaspora life from the London city jungle. His recent poetry, described as ‘afro-psychedelic’ has appeared in book as well as CD format. With his Spasm Band, Joseph links spoken word, rap and singing to raw funk, with shades of Gil Scott-Herron, jazz and afrobeat.
