   Book 20: The Quiet Ear. 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 and is more like a series of vignettes than one single narrative. I particularly liked learning more about D/deaf poetry.
