This is an upcoming title I was lucky enough to get an early copy of. This is a brilliant collection, discussing the multiple facets of identity, such as race (the author is of mixed heritage, English and Jamaican), disability, gender etc, and the isolation those identities can/do bring. Antrobus honestly and nakedly describes the fear and ignorance he's encountered due to his race and deafness, sometimes separately, other times combined. It's a passionate, raw account of the erasure of the d/Deaf community that will enlighten as well as shake up readers outside of it. My favourite thing about modern poetry is the variety of different voices that are now, finally, being heard after years of being excluded from the form, and The Perseverance is a poignant, important piece of poetry that will encourage discussion and alleviate loneliness.
