“A day will come when you won’t miss the country na nagluwal as ‘yo”
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 UK. Steeped in the richness of Filipino folklore, and studded with Tagalog, these poems speak of the ache of 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.
