Review of ‘Punta Spartivento & Other Mobilizations for Our Time’ By E. San Juan, Jr.

California State University, Long Beach, CA: This chapbook is a good introduction to the author’s poetry at home in both English and Filipino, and more accessible to the general reader than his ponderous prose. Collected for Lococo Chaps, an imprint of Moria book s, “dedicated to publishing politically-oriented poetry,” the poems display common traits: the motif is travelogue, the subject is political, and the tone ranges from hopeful to despairing.
