Sightseer in This Killing City

Advance praise for Sightseer in This Killing City:

"Empires crumble and the dust continues to contaminate the land, the air, our bodies, and our conscience. What a blessing to have Eugene Gloria help us reckon with the troubled histories that shape America, the Philippines, and every point in between. If the broken world had a musical score, it would thunder like the disquieting poems in Sightseer in This Killing City." --Rigoberto González

"These fast-paced narratives are cacophonous and unsettling. But first and foremost, they are tales that praise ordinary people. Their stories sing out to the reader with heart-rending vividness. This book is a rough and sleepless journey told by a tourist who keeps arriving at a Goon Republic but never stays. A fascinating read." --Marilyn Chin

Praise for Gloria's last collection, My Favorite Warlord:

"A lively, fast-paced third book . . . Gloria establishes himself as a poet of memory, of masculinity, as well as of Asian-American political identity . . . Gloria set himself confidently against injustice, in favor of inquiry, amid the eclectic language of contemporary scenes." --Publishers Weekly

"Gloria's collection, a meditation on his late father and a lyric memoir of 1967, when he was ten years old and emigrated with his family from the Philippines to San Francisco, touches on issues of heritage, identity and memory." --The Cleveland Plain Dealer
