Villanueva's "We Won't Cry about This," Janet Baclayon Villa's "Undercurrents," Angelo R. Lacuesta's "Rest Stop," and Alexis Abola's "At the Ends of the Hyphen."

Brillantes in his splendid preface, "astonishingly varied in vision, voic, mode, manner and consummation, ...each a vivid dream sustained by language; every one a shining performance."
