[Endorsements for JUAN LUNA'S REVOLVER]:

“In Juan Luna’s Revolver, Luisa Igloria establishes herself as a
singular and revelatory voice in American poetry. Here, she explores the dichotomy
of Filipino: interwoven yet hermetically singular, acquisitive yet inventive,
docile yet amok. Her engrossing poems hide, behind their gorgeous scrims, a bristling
wall of spears.” – Sabina Murray, author of Forgery, A Carnivore’s
Inquiry, and The Caprices

” ‘What a world to have lived in, to have arrived in,’ Luisa Igloria writes
early on in this brilliant collection that explores colonization and cultural
displacement, and how the artist must live in the aftermath of both. Even when
she writes about places many miles away, Igloria constructs a luminous portrait
of what is utterly human and ultimately familiar. These poems reveal a poet devoted
to the truth of her craft.” – Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, author
of Outlandish Blues and Red Clay Suite

“When I read a Luisa Igloria poem, a bright enchanted light falls over my
being. Juan Luna’s Revolver is Igloria’s best work to date. These poems never
let us forget they are wrought from an immigrant’s love for family, country, and
the history of the reinvented self.” – Virgil Suarez, author of 90
Miles

“In sure and compelling measures, with richly textured turns, and attending
to the mystery of matter, Luisa Igloria’s poems offer a powerfully tangible world,
and a world within, and a world beyond.” – Scott Cairns, author of
Compass of Affection: Poems New and Selected
