N2  - Features eighty-two poems for some of the country's most promising young poets in English, At Home in Unhomeliness has been released to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of PEN (Poets, Playwrights, Essayists, Novelists). Different themes make up the anthology-personal takes on reality, spiritual and even a pinch of politics. Shows that Filipino writers have not only mastered English but also built their own home there. The editor of the book, Neil Garcia said:" Language is a crucial issue in postcolonial literature and in the identity politics that underwrites it. It simply can't be sidestepped, I supposed: colonized peoples who speak (write) in the language of colonization necessarily confront the problem of consciousness, and therefore, of identity."
