Over de workhop:
''This workshop will explore two approaches to generating poetic sound and text. Firstly, we will look at lyrical or confessional poetry; considering how personal experience can be used to generate poems. Then, we will consider ‘contrasting’ approaches or strategies which aim to ‘break the mind’ by using procedural methods to generate poems — e.g. Oulipo, formulas, random or found poems. The aim, ultimately is to examine how both methods may be combined. We will read selected poems as examples, do writing exercises, and end with a short reading by the group. ''

Tijdens deze interactieve workshop worden ook je eigen bestaande teksten besproken. Anthony Joseph kiest aan het einde van de workshop 1 deelnemer uit die in de avond mag openen tijdens Woorden Worden Zinnen.

Let op: De workshop zal gegeven worden in het Engels.
Je teksten mogen wel in het Nederlands geschreven zijn.

Over Anthony Joseph:

Anthony Joseph is a poet, novelist, musician and lecturer described as ‘the leader of the black avant-garde in Britain’. His written work and performance occupies a space between surrealism, Jazz and the rhythms of Caribbean speech and music. He is the author of four poetry collections and a novel The African Origins of UFOs. In 2005 he was selected by the Arts Council of England and Renaissance One as one of 50 Black and Asian writers who have made major contributions to contemporary British literature. He has received an Arts Council of England touring award, and an AHRC postgraduate scholarship to complete his doctoral thesis; a ‘fictional biography’ of the legendary Trinidadian calypsonian Lord Kitchener. In January 2015 he presented Kitch a BBC4 documentary based on his research.

He holds a PhD in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths College and lectures in creative writing at Birkbeck College, University of London.

As a musician he has released four critically acclaimed albums. His debut album Leggo de Lion (2007) featured lyrics taken from his novel The African Origins of UFOs. Bird Head Son followed in 2009, coinciding with the publication of his 3rd poetry collection. Rubber Orchestras was released in 2011, alongside a new collection of poems of the same title. A live album Live in Bremen appeared in 2013, and Time, produced by Meshell Ndegeocello, in 2014.

His 6th album, Caribbean Roots, was released in June 2016 on Strut/Heavenly Sweetness.
