*Longlisted for the Swansea University Dylan Thomas prize 2021*
*Shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2021: A 'tour-de-force'* *An
Irish Times and Poetry School Book of the Year 2020* 'A day will
come when you won't miss the country na nagluwal sa 'yo.' -
'Antiemetic for Homesickness' The poems in Romalyn Ante's luminous
debut build a bridge between two worlds: journeying from the
country 'na nagluwal sa 'yo' - that gave birth to you - to a new
life in the United Kingdom. Steeped in the richness of Filipino
folklore, and studded with Tagalog, these poems speak of the ache
of assimilation and the complexities of belonging, telling the
stories of generations of migrants who find exile through
employment - through the voices of the mothers who leave and the
children who are left behind. With dazzling formal dexterity and
emotional resonance, this expansive debut offers a unique
perspective on family, colonialism, homeland and heritage: from the
countries we carry with us, to the places we call home. 'Moving,
witty and agile' Observer 'By turns playful and tender, offering a
formally-various exploration of migration, community, and
nursing... there is honesty, musicality, a powerful heart' Irish
Times
