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 readers mind.




Guardian
Raymond Antrobuss astonishing debut collection, The Perseverance, won both the Rathbone Folio Prize and the Ted Hughes Award, amongst many other accolades; the poets 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.
