Winner of the Ted Hughes AwardWinner of the Rathbones Folio PrizeWinner of the Somerset Maugham AwardShortlisted for the Griffin Poetry PrizeA Poetry Book of the Year at The Guardian, The Sunday Times, and Poetry SchoolIn this extraordinary debut collection, award-winning poet Raymond Antrobus interrogates anger, grief, illness, vulnerability, deafness, and race through a distinctive engagement with language, tongues, listening, and sound.
The Perseverance is an insightful, frank and intimate rumination on language, identity, heritage, loss and the art of communication. . . . These are courageous autobiographical poems of praise, difficulties, testimony and love. --Malika Booker
