The Legend of Sondayo is a remembered Filipino story that is told today in fragments. We will never know fully the richness and complexity, the meaning of layers, the beauty and sensuousness of the oral culture from where it emerged and once kep...

Coney Island of the Mind - Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Ferlinghetti is a national treasure, and his voice has become part of our collective conscience.

Written in the conservative post-war 1950s, his poems still resonate, as they will continue to resonate, with a joyful anti-establishment fervor that beats a rhythmic portrait o...
