José Garcia Villa’s poetry now part of Penguin Classics:
"MANILA, Philippines - Playing with shadow and spark, the book’s cover exemplifies the multifarious nature of its author, the poet José Garcia Villa.
Tipped one way, the cover shows a young Villa’s profile, and tipped another, the words dove, eagle and lion emerge.
Doveglion, an amalgamation of the three words, was Villa’s pen name, and is emblematic of the iconoclastic and meaningful writing life possessed by Villa, born in 1908, died in 1997, and named a National Artist for Literature."
