Book Description: 
Winner of The Sunday Times/University of Warwick Young Writer of the Year Award 2019 Winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize 2019 Winner of the Ted Hughes Award Longlisted for the Jhalak Prize ‘[A] memorable collection ... Antrobus interlaces wit and pathos as he examines his identity as a deaf British-Jamaican man in a world between sign language and speech.' - The Sunday Times - Poetry Book of the Year The Perseverance is the remarkable debut book by British-Jamaican poet Raymond Antrobus. Ranging across history and continents, these poems operate in the spaces in between, their haunting lyrics creating new, hybrid territories. The Perseverance is a book of loss, contested language and praise, where elegies for the poet’s father sit alongside meditations on the d/Deaf experience.
