Juan Luna's Revolver

"The poems in Juan Luna's Revolver both address history and attempt to transcend it through their exploration of the complexity of diaspora. Luisa A. Igloria traces journeys made by Filipinos in the global diaspora that began after the encounter with European and American colonial power. Her poems allude to historical figures such as the Filipino painter Juan Luna and the novelist and national hero Jose Rizal, as well as the eleven hundred indigenous Filipinos brought to serve as live exhibits at the 1904 Missouri World's Fair."--BOOK JACKET.

Luisa A. Igloria is an associate professor in the MFA creative writing program at Old Dominion University.
