Hardback. Condición: Good. A groundbreaking exploration of deafness by a young award-winning poet--a memoir, a cultural history, and a call to action hailed as "insightful, bighearted [and] a transformative story for all readers" (The New York Times Book Review) "Beautifully complicates and expands our understanding of what deafness is . . . a book that changed how I will move through the world."--Clint Smith, author of How the Word Is Passed "A litany to beauty beyond what is spoken. This book is an essential education."--Safiya Sinclair, author of How to Say Babylon "A spellbinding account of [Antrobus's] youth as a deaf, mixed-race child in East London . . . an unforgettable account of finding one's voice. It's masterful."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) A TIME AND SHELF AWARENESS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR * One of Publishers Weekly's Top 10 New Memoirs and Biographies of the Fall * One of The Washington Post and Vulture's Most Anticipated Books I live with the aid of deafness. Like poetry, it has given me an art, a history, a culture and a tradition to live through. This book charts that art in the hopes of offering a map, a mirror, a small part of a larger story. Raymond Antrobus was first diagnosed as deaf at the age of six. He discovered he had missing sounds--bird calls, whistles, kettles, alarms. Teachers thought he was slow and disruptive, some didn't believe he was deaf at all. The Quiet Ear tells the story of Antrobus's upbringing at the intersection of race and disability. Growing up in East London to an English mother and Jamaican father, educated in both mainstream and deaf schooling systems, Antrobus explores the shame of miscommunication, the joy of finding community, and shines a light on deaf education. Throughout, Antrobus sets his story alongside those of other D/deaf cultural figures--from painters to silent film stars, poets to performers--the inspiring models of D/deaf creativity he did not have growing up. A singular, remarkable work, The Quiet Ear is a much-needed examination of deafness in the world.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. In a relatable tale about two siblings at constant odds, a child discovers that expressing himself through stories can help resolve conflict and generate understanding. My sister is cooler than me. I want her friends to be my friends. I want her things to be my things. For one little boy and his older sister, fights are always waiting to happen--when he takes something without asking, jumps on her bed without asking, even wanders off without asking. And when they fight, they don't use words: it's all push, pull, hurt, hide. To cool off after, the boy retreats to his room to write and draw stories--stories about terrible horses trampling and galloping, while he is a lone pony unable to compete or speak or sleep. One morning, the boy wakes up to find his sketchbook missing, taken by his sister. What now? Will this make things worse, or could it help them to finally understand each other? With empathy and simplicity, Terrible Horses has much to say about using creativity to rein in anger, reflect, and see life through someone else's eyes. Wilson-Max, Ken (ilustrador).…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In the wake of his father's death, the speaker in Raymond Antrobus' The Perseverance travels to Barcelona. In Gaudi's Cathedral, he meditates on the idea of silence and sound, wondering whether acoustics really can bring us closer to God. Receiving information through his hearing aid technology, he considers how deaf people are included in this idea. "Even though," he says, "I have not heard / the golden decibel of angels, / I have been living in a noiseless / palace where the doorbell is pulsating / light and I am able to answer." The Perseverance is a collection of poems examining a d/Deaf experience alongside meditations on loss, grief, education, and language, both spoken and signed. It is a book about communication and connection, about cultural inheritance, about identity in a hearing world that takes everything for granted, about the dangers we may find (both individually and as a society) if we fail to understand each other.…
