A wonderful blog post from @troycabida.bsky.social sharing a poem & insight, from upcoming Neon Manila. Discover 'Black Turtleneck Sonnet', a poem of 'beauty, agency & sex', playing with multiple meanings of an iconic garment.

Here's a poem from my upcoming poetry collection, NEON MANILA, set to music by Justin de Guzman and an accompanied music video shot by Jack Westmore.

Still celebrating Troy Cabida’s book being chosen by the Poetry Book Society as their Spring Pamphlet Choice 2025. And there’s also this lovely thoughtful review from Yousif M Qasmiyeh + Alyvia Pirmohamed in the PBS bulletin too. Grab a copy from either the fourteen poems or PBS website! 🥰
