Quarantine is its own liminal space, and so I admit to having spent much of this pandemic with the ghosts of poets, or at the very least chasing their shadows. What started as an exploration of Federico García Lorca’s influence on Philippine poetry led me, eventually, to Zulu and Villa.

My essay on literary contact zones and transnational poetic space during the Philippine Commonwealth era can be found the newest issue of Humanities Diliman.

Also, for those interested, the Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes has a whole archive of fascinating source texts floating quietly in the digital ether.
