"M. de Gracia Concepci̤n explores the affective landscape of the Philippine diaspora in this classic 1925 collection, the first book of poetry to be published by a Filipino writer in the United States - available again after being out of print for decades. This centennial edition includes a foreword by Patrick Rosal and a biographical introduction by scholar Emmanuel David - a descendant of Concepci̤n - as well as Concepci̤n's own playful preface to the original volume. Azucena is an essential work of Filipino literature, a collection of profound beauty, lyricism, and insight. Widely praised when published, it established Concepci̤n's literary reputation on two continents. With this edition, contemporary readers can experience, for the first time, Concepci̤n's poetry and the remarkable story of his fascinating life and writing career" --
