M. de Gracia Concepcion explores the affective landscape of the Philippine diaspora in this classic collection, which was the first book of poetry to be published by a Filipino writer in the United States. Azucena established Concepcion's national reputation in the 1920s, but it has remained out of print for a century. This centennial edition includes a foreword by Patrick Rosal and a biographical introduction by Emmanuel David.
