H. Auden, Tennessee Williams, and a young Gore Vidal. But beyond his exotic ethnicity, Villa was a global poet who was admired for “the reverence, the raptness, the depth of concentration in [his] bravely deep poems” (Marianne Moore). Doveglion (Villa’s pen name for dove, eagle, and lion) contains Villa’s collected poetry, including rare and previously unpublished material. \u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

At the height of his career, Villa's writings earned him prizes, fellowships, and lavish praise from some of the greatest literary luminaries of the day. Yet his work has been out of the public eye for more than thirty years and out of print for more than fifteen. Although named a National Artist in the Philippines where he was born, Villa remains largely unknown in the United States today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"THE ANCHORED ANGEL is a marvelous reintroduction to the work of one of the greatest pioneers of Asian American literature. For José Garcia Villa was our bitter, narcissistic angel of both late Modernism and early post-colonialism, an inventive, luminous intelligence full of sweet song and possessed of an unforgettably unique, bilious presence of a legend. Like the César Vallejo of Trilce, Villa could be abstract, elusive, eccentric, yet capable of a lyric passion so intense, both heart and throat ache to intone his strophes. Editor Eileen Tabios and the contributing essayists have accomplished a literary treasure, an archive, and a clear-eyed act of literary homage to an important figure in twentieth-century world poetry.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—Garrett Hongo T\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher: Kaya Press (3\/1\/2000)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 288 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1885030282\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1885030283\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 15 ounces\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJ.J.","brand":"Philippine Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40622550122662,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/853156.jpg?v=1625720717"},{"product_id":"mir-i-nisa-a-tale-of-the-philippines-seas-by-jose-garcia-villa-out-of-print","title":"Mir-i-Nisa (A Tale of The Philippines Seas) by Jose Garcia Villa (Out of Print)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eOut of print title.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have\u003cstrong\u003e one copy\u003c\/strong\u003e of this out of print title for sale; if interested, let us know immediately.
