Diwata
Tagalog is a language spoken by twenty-two million people in the Philippines. Diwata is a Tagalog term meaning "muse." Diwata is also a term for a mythical being who resides in nature, and who human communities must acknowledge, respect, and appease in order to live harmoniously in this world.

The Secret Lives of Punctuations
XPress(ed) is pleased to announce the release of Eileen R. Tabios' tenth poetry collection, The Secret Lives of Punctuations, Vol. I, which reveals for the first time the secret lives of those gestures so small that they are often taken for granted or overlooked: punctuations. Volume I of Punctuations reveals the resonant -- and quirky -- lives of the semi-colon, colon, ellipsis, parenthesis, strike-throughs, question mark, and the blank line. The book also offers a decolonialism scholar's perspective on punctuations by Leny M. Strobel, as well as a visual art relationship with punctuations through the paintings of Eve Aschheim. Finally, the book offers postcard-art and a performance project entitled The Secret Lives of Blank Lines by the author who is not just a poet but also a conceptual/performance and visual artist. --xPress(ed).
