Description
barangay is an elegant collection from Adrian De Leon that gathers in and arranges the difficult pieces of a scattered history. In these poems De Leon considers the deadly impact of colonialism, the far-reaching effects of the diaspora from the Philippines and the personal loss of his ability to speak Ilokano, his grandmother's native tongue.
