Auszeichnungen
"On the heels of his much-lauded debut collection, Raymond Antrobus continues his essential investigation into language, miscommunication, place, and memory in All The Names Given, while simultaneously breaking new ground in both form and content. The collection opens with poems about the author's surname-one that shouldn't have survived into modernity-and examines the rich and fraught history carried within it. The book is punctuated with [Caption Poems] partially inspired by Deaf sound artist Christine Sun Kim, which speak to the spaces between the poems as well as the moments inside them. As Antrobus outlines a childhood caught between intimacy and brutality, sound and silence, and conflicting racial and cultural identities, the poem becomes a space in which the poet reckons with his own ancestry, and bears witness to the indelible violence of the legacy wrought by colonialism. The poems travel through space-shifting fluidly between England, South Africa, Jamaica, and the American South-and brilliantly move from an examination of family history into the wandering lust of adolescence and finally, vividly, into a complex array of marriage poems-matured, wiser, and more accepting of love's fragility. Formally sophisticated, with a weighty perception and startling directness, All The Names Given is a timely, tender book full of humanity and remembrance from one of the most important young poets of our generation"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

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”. ( )
