About this listen

Winner of the Ted Hughes Award, the Rathbones Folio Prize, and a Somerset Maugham Award.

Shortlisted for the Griffin Prize, the Jhalak Prize, and a Poetry Book Society Choice.

A Guardian, Sunday Times, and Poetry School 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.
