The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

An extraordinary debut from a young British-Jamaican poet, ‘The Perseverance’ is a book of loss, language, and praise. 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, this book operates in the in betweens – of dual heritages, of form and expression – emerging to show us what it means to exist, and to flourish.
