The Perseverance by Raymond Antrobus

Winner of the Ted Hughes award for poetry 2019.

An extraordinary debut from a young British-Jamaican poet.

One of the most crucial new voices to emerge from Britain, Raymond Antrobus explores the d/Deaf experience, the death of his father and the failure to communicate. Ranging across history, time zones and continents, The Perseverance operates in the in betweens of dual heritages, of form and expression emerging to show us what it means to exist, and to flourish.
