Structured as a two-part sequence poem, Signs, Music explores the before and after of becoming a father with tenderness and care--the cognitive and emotional dissonances between the "hypothetical" and the "real" of fatherhood, the ways our own parents shape the parents we become, and how fraught with emotion, curiosity, and recollection this irreversible transition to fatherhood makes one's inner landscape.

At once searching and bright, deeply rooted and buoyant, Raymond Antrobus's Signs, Music is a moving record of the changes and challenges encompassing new parenthood and the inevitable cycles of life, death, birth, renewal, and legacy--a testament to the joy, uncertainty, and incredible love that come with bringing new life into the world.
