About Ghazalia: Maralus Ya Ayat
From the Back Cover "Santiago Villafania has reinvigorated the poetry (anlong) tradition of Pangasinan that for a long period of time suffered silence from the hands of writers more attuned to English writing. Characteristically anacbanua, Villafania's poetry echoes his predecessors and presages a promising era for young writers in Pangasinan." - Ma. Crisanta Nelmida-Flores, from the Introduction to Balikas na Caboloan Product Description a collection of ghazals in Pangasinan language. About the Author Santiago B.
