The fourth collection of Arvin Mangohig sheds light on the obscured realities of political repression, incarceration, and torture during one of the darkest moments of Philippine history. Through a lyricism stunning for its clear-eyed intensity and restraint, it offers a fresh and urgent reckoning of stories under the threat of being eroded by fake news and historical revisionism.
