Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-02 00:00:00 Siegel Regis José Garcia Villa is an anomalic Filipino-American writer whose poetry goes over my head, whose prose I heartily enjoy, and whose esteem among American contemporaries (the Lost Generation, the Beat Poets, etc) is surprising. The essays about him and his contribution to both American and Filipino literature were eye-opening though I wish there would have been more of his work. The great sadness about early 20th century Filipino writers is that what is available is either not enough or exorbitantly expensive. I hope to read more of JGV's prose though I personally prefer his more-straightforward literary descendants.
