Perseverance is the multi-award-winning debut 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.
Audiobook now available from Audible, Amazon and iTunes.
