‘Alton Melvar M Dapanas uses the corporealities of the dili ingon nato or ‘those not like us,’ creatures that haunt the folk and horror mythos of the Philippine archipelago, to express the violence and eros that accompany longing and melancholy. These poems are seductive and sacrilegious, acting as a conduit for all the kaleidoscopic emotions that exist in the void. A vigorous reworking of what was once deemed unholy. This is idolatry for all our lost memories.’
– Therese Estacion, Filipino-Canadian author of Firecracker Awards-shortlisted Phantompains: Poems
