Abstract
This review essay provides an overview of the poetry and essays in E. San Juan, Jr.’s Balikbayang Mahal: Passages from Exile. Close attention is paid to “Mask of the Poet,” “Spring in Den Haag, Nederland, 25 March 2007,” “Vicissitudes of the Love and Death of Vladimir Mayakovsky,” and “Sa Loob at Labas Ng Bayan Kon Sawi: Emergency Signals from a Filipino Exile.” The book as a whole combines the postmodern idea of the lack of authentic, monadic self with the ancient idea that everything is connected.
