<p><b>An elegant debut collection that illuminates the contours of un/belonging.</b></p><p><b><br></b></p> <p><i>Dayo</i>: a Tagalog word referring to someone who exists in a place not their own. A wanderer, migrant worker, exile or simply a stranger. At its core, the poems in <i>Dayo</i> interrogate whether belonging can exist in a society suffused with violence. Here, the poet, as a stranger, confronts the politics of recognition by offering his vision. Reflexive and lyrical, this collection embodies the true curiosity and tenacious spirit of a dayo seeking a place to replant, tend, and grow delicate roots.</p> <p><br></p>
