Philippine Writing: An Anthology

Philippine Writing: An Anthology stands as a premier post-war collection of English-language short stories and poetry written by Filipinos. Curated by T. D. Agcaoili, it acts as a critical literary pulse check for a young nation, gathering 34 short stories and 48 poems from 50 outstanding writers who defined the era's literary renaissance—including Carlos Bulosan, Nick Joaquin, Manuel Arguilla, Bienvenido Santos, and N. V. M. Gonzalez. Enhanced with foundational critical essays by Edith L. and Edilberto K. Tiempo, this volume bridges hard-to-find masterpieces to showcase a mature, complex, and distinctly Filipino voice.
