M. de Gracia Concepcion

Broschiertes Buch

Azucena

Beschreibung

M. de Gracia Concepcion explores the affective landscape of the Philippine diaspora in this classic collection, which was the first book of poetry to be published by a Filipino writer in the United States. Azucena established Concepcion's national reputation in the 1920s, but it has remained out of print for a century. This centennial edition includes a foreword by Patrick Rosal and a biographical introduction by Emmanuel David.

Autor

Born in the Philippines in 1895, M. de Gracia Concepción published two books of poetry, Azucena and The Bamboo Flute, and a co-authored biography of Philippine President Manuel Quezon. He was also a journalist and a newspaper editor in the United States and the Philippines. When he died suddenly in Los Angeles in 1952, he was under FBI surveillance for suspected ties to Communist organizations and for his participation in liberation movements in the Philippines.
