Reliquaria Paperback / softback
by R.A. Villanueva
Part of the The Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry series
Paperback / softback
Description
In his prize-winning poetry collection Reliquaria, R.
A. Villanueva embraces liminal, in-between spaces in considering an ever-evolving Filipino American identity.
Languages and cultures collide; mythologies and faiths echo and resound.
Part haunting, part prayer, part prophecy, these poems resonate with the voices of the dead and those who remember them.
In this remarkable book, we enter the vessel of memory, the vessel of the body.
The dead act as witness, the living as chimera, and we learn that whatever the state of the body, this much rings true: every ode is an elegy; each elegy is always an ode.
