Arvin Abejo Mangohig telescopes his poetic vision and diction to one of the darkest moments of Philippine history and, through a lyricism stunning for its clear-eyed intensity and restraint, offers us fresh and urgent reckonings of stories under the threat of being eroded by fake news and historical revisionism.
