Returning a Borrowed Tongue: Poems by Filipino and Filipino American Writers | 
pickAs a Fil-Am, this anthology is the first time I‘ve seen myself in the medium of poetry. Cannot stress how meaningful this is. And that‘s all before speaking on the truly fantastic talent on display within the pages.
I began 2017 - after reading Heaney‘s The Spirit Level to close 2016 - w a goal to read at at least 1 poem a day. Doing so with this book fed me as a writer, but perhaps more meaningfully, as a human. Pick this up.
