Recenzii
Vestiges of plot -- concerning a galaxy where melanin is exchanged like an illicit drug -- are a little hard to fathom in a novel the publishers describe as psychedelic noir. They say this book blends 'the diasporic with the avant garde', which may sound scary, but the rhythmic beauty of the text still makes it an inviting read. Joseph can recite a staggering 80% of UFOs from memory, and if he happens to be performing near you, he is well worth catching live. This book could almost be a CD. Pulp Net

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. In 2012 he represented Trinidad at the Poetry Parnassus Festival on London's South Bank. He performs internationally and tours with his band The Spasm Band with which he has released four critically acclaimed albums. His fifth album Time was produced by Meshell Ndgeocello and will be released in Spring 2014. Lauri Ramey is a poet and scholar whose PhD is in contemporary poetry from University of Chicago.
