From Alyza: “I have always looked at this one with fondness because of its candor—a quality that I realize chafes off along with one’s youth as the years roll on. The questions I asked in this piece I still haven’t been able to answer. Maybe I’m not meant to.”

From Ai: “I had been warned that not having an English name might decrease my employment prospects. But every time I’ve tried to change my name, I’ve failed to. And for that I’m glad, because I think I’ve grown to truly appreciate my name, its roots, and my identity.”

Some men were covering the bodies with banana leaves. Others were taking pictures. There were so many bodies that Ria ran out of fingers before she could count them all. She counted up to twenty before she stopped. Isa Lorenzo, ⁦@PandanWeekly⁩ sealitcircle.wixsite.com/pan…

From Kwan Ann Tan: “I was studying for a master’s degree in medieval literature and wrote this poem after fellow students complained how they were being so oppressed because ‘now everything is about race.’”
