- Summary
- "Arlene Biala's stark, tender, sensual, and political poetry explores stories of the generations who have left their native lands to live in America, particularly those from the islands of the Philippines. This collection of poems goes beyond chronological storytelling into the dance of simultaneous experiences called forth by tragedy, family, and love."--BOOK JACKET.
