Finalist for the 2024 T. S. Eliot Prize
“Exhilarating.”—Victoria Chang, author of
With My Back to the World
“Told with frankness and a masterful wielding of image, Signs
,
Music
is so tenderly rendered that I found myself gasping.”—Shira Erlichman, author of
Odes to Lithium
Acclaimed poet Raymond Antrobus returns with Signs,
, a stunning book of poetry that captures imminent fatherhood and the arrival of a child.
Structured as a two-part sequence poem, Signs,
explores the before and after of becoming a father with tenderness and care—the cognitive and emotional dissonances between the “hypothetical” and the “real” of fatherhood, the ways our own parents shape the parents we become, and how fraught with emotion, curiosity, and recollection this irreversible transition to fatherhood makes one’s inner landscape. At once searching and bright, deeply rooted and buoyant, Raymond Antrobus’s Signs,
is a moving record of the changes and challenges encompassing new parenthood and the inevitable cycles of life, death, birth, renewal, and legacy—a testament to the joy, uncertainty, and incredible love that come with bringing new life into the world.
