What is it about?
There is no poetry collection so far in the Philippines which voices the life of a person living with HIV (PLHIV). Filipino spoken word poet Wanggo Gallaga’s new poetry collection, Remnants, breaks new ground for Philippine poetry written in English. This is a first review of his work.
