These Silences – Psychedelic Noir: Anthony Joseph and Iphgenia Baal

Anthony Joseph has been described as both “blending the diasporic with the avant garde” and “L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry meets Sun Ra”, Joseph’s novel, The African Origin Of UFOs, is accessible but mind expanding. His Afro-futurism encompasses science fiction and folk tales, surreal imagery and neologisms, sudden historical shifts and dexterous verbal riffs on a wide range of musical traditions. An accomplished live performer who recites from memory, Joseph fuses an impressively wide range of genres.  He will surprise and delight you. Appearing with him is Iphgenia Baal. Her just published first book, The Hardy Tree, is a genre-bending meditation on graveyards, the gothic, Thomas Hardy and the deep topology of Kings X in London.
