In this poetry collection by Raymond Antrobus, the author addresses his biracial identity, growing up with a drunken father, issues surrounding deafness and disability, especially revolving around policing and prisons.

There are many emotions that are displayed throughout this collection. Especially the author’s use of [caption poems] where Antrobus is inspired by the work of Deaf artist, Christine Sun Kim.

Overall, I really enjoyed the poetry and some will stick with me for a while, especially “For Tyrone Givans”.
