Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Robertsky 3 years ago. | |

Romalyn Pusikit Ante FRSL (born January 1989) is a Filipino-British poet and essayist.
Early life
[edit]Ante was born in Lipa, Batangas[1] during her hometown's fiesta of San Sebastian. Her grandfather was a shaman.[2] In 2005 at age 16, Ante joined her mother, an NHS nurse, in Wolverhampton, England.[3] After completing secondary school, Ante studied nursing and specialised in renal dialysis as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.[4]
Career
[edit]She became co-founding editor of harana poetry. She was also editor of Ambit. Her debut pamphlet, Rice & Rain (V Press), received the 2018 Saboteur Award for Best Poetry Pamphlet.
In 2019, Ante signed her first book deal with Chatto & Windus (a Penguin Random House imprint),[5] through which she published her debut collection titled Antiemetic for Homesickness in 2020. In the collection, the poet balances writing about her experiences working as an NHS nurse with nostalgia for her childhood in the Philippines.[6] Antiemetic for Homesickness was shortlisted for the 2021 Jhalak Prize and longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize. It was named amongst Best Poetry Books of the Year 2020 by The Poetry School and Irish Times. Her honors include the Poetry London Prize, Manchester Poetry Prize, Society of Author's Foundation Award, and Creative Future Literary Award.
Her work has been featured in BBC World News, World Literature Today, BBC Radio 4, Harper's Bazaar, British Vogue, Southbank Center, Book Week Scotland, Birmingham Literature Festival, and Verve Poetry Festival.
In 2023, Ante was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.[7]
Ante reunited with Chatto & Windus for her second poetry collection AGIMAT in 2024. The collection once again touches on stories from working as a nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic, this time weaving in elements from Japanese occupation in the Philippines as well as the Filipino mythological character, Mebuyan.[8]
