The centennial edition of major Filipino writer José Garcia Villas collected poetry Known as the Pope of Greenwich Village, José Garcia Villa had a special status as the only Asian poet among a group of modern literary giants in 1940s New York that included W. 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).
