About this listen
From the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year 2019
Shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize 2021
Raymond Antrobus’ astonishing debut collection, The Perseverance, won both Rathbone Folio Prize and the Ted Hughes Award, amongst many other accolades; the poet’s much anticipated second collection, All the Names Given, continues his essential investigation into language, miscommunication, place, and memory.
Throughout, All the Names Given is punctuated with [Caption Poems] partially inspired by deaf sound artist Christine Sun Kim, which attempt to fill in the silences and transitions between the poems, as well as moments inside and outside of them. Direct, open, formally sophisticated, All the Names Given breaks new ground both in form and content: the result is a timely, humane and tender book from one of the most important young poets of his generation.

"[Raymond Antrobus] has built another beautiful paper house which you can spend a very long and deeply satisfying time inside." (Mark Haddon)
"Moving deftly between tenderness and violence, hope and grief, praise and lament, this is a deeply evocative collection that will linger in the reader’s mind." (Guardian)
