Inspire Poetry Festival Headline event: Romalyn Ante

We are delighted to host the Festival debut of Romalyn Ante, who is currently receiving great acclaim for both her own poetry and her work with writers for whom English is a second or third language.

Romalyn Ante is a Filipino-British, Wolverhampton-based author. She is co-founding editor of harana poetry, a magazine for poets who write in English as a second or parallel language, and founder of Tsaá with Roma, an online interview series with poets and other creatives. Her debut collection is Antiemetic for Homesickness (Chatto & Windus). She was recently awarded the Jerwood Compton Poetry Fellowship 2021/22.

​Apart from being a writer, she also works full-time as a nurse practitioner, specializing in providing different psychotherapeutic treatments.

“Poignant, beautiful, and meditative writing on movement — living in a foreign country, being away from one’s family, speaking a language not quite your own... This is possibly the most beautiful thing I have read this year.”

Maria Lewandowska The Poetry School Poetry Books of the Year.
