All The Names Given

Raymond Antrobus’s second collection, All The Names Given, explores themes of language, miscommunication, memory, and place, building on his acclaimed debut. Interwoven with Caption Poems inspired by Deaf sound artist Christine Sun Kim, the collection delicately balances tenderness and violence, hope and grief. Known for its formal sophistication and innovative approach, this timely and humane collection cements Antrobus as a vital voice in contemporary poetry.
