Antrobus is a biracial poet who grew up working class in the UK with partial deafness. His memoir talks about his life before and after getting diagnosed, getting hearing aids, finding his voice, getting therapy, having a child, using BSE and BSL, and other milestones. The narrative jumps around a lot, ultimately more like a series of vignettes than one single narrative. The end part of his life has the least information of all. He moves to the US, has a kid, is maybe separated from his child’s parent. I particularly liked learning more about D/deaf poetry and would have happily read a lot more about that part of this book.
