Hyphen Magazine Review: Maiana Minahal, Legend Sondayo

I enjoy Minahal's poetry because, apart from being precisely crafted and lively, it's subversive. It literally subverts an old Filipino folktale of the woman Sondayo, who battles the wind goddess, because the wind goddess stole her husband.

Field of Mirrors: A New Anthology of Philippine American Writers

Considered in their entirety, the pieces in Field of Mirrors hold together as a strong and solid cultural document of distinct and disparate ways of viewing, thinking and writing by still-evolving generations of Filipinos in America. --Patria Rivera, author of Puti/White
