For adults (Under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)
Join Romalyn Ante, nurse and award-winning poet, as she reads from her sparkling new collection AGIMAT.
AGIMAT moves between the Philippines and Wolverhampton, myth and the grind of the present-day NHS. These are poems of strength and solace; they question what it means to fight, and what it takes to heal.
