Keepers of the Malicgong Rice Terraces

The poems reflect my diverse experiences throughout my lifetime, from memories of my grandmother, Apong Cadan, who cared for me the first 6 years of my life in Baguio, Philippines, my indigenous Igorot ancestry experience that I have dreamt and imagined because I have lived in the diaspora, the rich contemplative life that began in 2004, and to be the voice for the silenced voices because of social, racial, and political injustices. These poems are reflected in the book sections Rooted Voice, Silent Voice, and Silenced Voices. I hope to inspire your curiosity. The book is available through Amazon: https://a.co/d/cPbTRVu
