Three Poems by Angel

This contribution is a series of poems written by ‘Angel’, a single mother living in Swansea, Wales, UK. They explore her identity as a new refugee in the UK. Her poetry examines both the positives and negatives of lockdown, including her feelings of anxiety, fear and isolation. The series provides a deeply relatable depiction of the experience shared by so many during the pandemic, especially parents, and serves to remind us that regardless of where we were born, our experience as human beings is a shared one.

This material is part of the Covid Chronicles from the Margins project, funded by The Open University and the International Institute of Social Studies in the Hague. The project aims to highlight the impact of the pandemic on refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants.

本贡献是一系列由居住在英国威尔士斯旺西的单亲母亲‘Angel’创作的诗歌。这些诗歌探寻了她作为英国新难民的身份认同。她的诗歌不仅审视了封锁期间的积极面与消极面，包括焦虑、恐惧和孤独感，还提供了对疫情期间众多人共同经历的深刻共鸣的描绘，尤其是父母们。这一系列作品旨在提醒我们，无论我们出生在何处，作为人类，我们的经历是共同的。该材料是来自《边缘的Covid编年史》项目的一部分，该项目由开放大学和国际社会研究学院资助。该项目旨在凸显疫情对难民、寻求庇护者和无证移民的影响。该物品也可在我们的网站上找到。
