Book Description:

English is often a primary literary language for Filipino writers--not only for those in the Philippines but for those resident in the United States; both groups are included in this anthology of 31 stories and 108 poems documenting a tradition that began at the turn-of-the-century. Manila-born poet and writer Francia, an editor at the Village Voice, gathers and validates creative work that has had limited distribution not only here but in Asia.
