Abstract

Excerpt: Rarely do we find a work that marks a time; even more rarely, the one that gives form to its spirit. Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta’s poetry collection Burning Houses is that kind of work, marking the path that Filipino women’s writing from the last hundred or so years has taken, giving form to its passions. Burning Houses, indeed, allows us to understand the achievements of such a tradition and the future that it promises to its readers.
