Features: Dust Jacket Required — Literary London
Peter Ackroyd isn't the only person to have written about London: It is a "writer's town," whether we are talking about poetry, drama, short fiction or novels. While E.M. Forster once wrote that England has its share of the greatest poets but comes up short on the greatest novelists, I think that authors such as Dickens, Ford Madox Ford and George Eliot suffice to put the country, and its capital, indelibly on the novel's map.

Villafania advocates for the resurgence of Pangasinan as a literary language. His works in the vernacular are some of the most representative, if not among the few that comprise that Pangasinan contemporary literary body. In his first book Balikas na Caboloan (Verses from Caboloan), the Pangasinan anlong resurfaces asserting its tradition amidst intersecting and pollinating genres and literary influences. His book of poems, Malagilion: Sonnets tan Villanelles , is an attempt to open the propylaea of literary renaissance in Pangasinan. This second book by Pangasinan’s leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that a
