This anthology offers earthly and celestial angels, who appear in a nurse's uniform or a flash of light, to lift us up towards belief, survival and love. We meet a grandmother whose amazing love is celebrated and even a dog whose tail wagging wakes its adoring owner. Elsewhere, an angelic statue offers a moment of reflection for all who zoom past: I glimpsed our destination in the rear-view glass and in my heartbeat heard the pulse of outspread wings. - from 'The Angel of the North' by Ian Parks Poet Romalyn Ante's lyrical and moving selection explores the many things that 'angel' can mean, in lines which bring beauty and significance fluttering into our lives.

A sparkling second poetry collection from the nurse and prizewinning poet, moving between the Philippines and the speaker's adopted England, between myths of the past and the grind of the present-day NHS, asking: how do we keep safe what we hold most dear?this charms the buried light of stars -this deflects bullets - this unblooms a war -In some Filipino clans, parents pass down to each child an agimat, an amulet or charm, in the hope its magic will protect and empower them. In a world of daily pain and loss, Romalyn Ante's second collection asks how do we keep safe what we hold most dear? At the dawn of the pandemic, the poet - a practising nurse in the NHS - is thrown onto the frontlines of the war against COVID-19, and finds herself questioning what it means to fight, and what it takes to heal.Past conflicts swim into the now: when the poet falls in love with a man of Japanese heritage, it forces a reckoning with her family's suffering under Japan's brutal wartime occupation of the Philippines.
