Editor's Note:
Settling St. Malo brings readers back to a time when Louisiana had the largest Filipino population in the United States―when Filipinos fished out of St. Malo, dried shrimp on Barataria Bay, and designed Mardi Gras floats in New Orleans. Poet Randy Gonzales explores the history of Louisiana’s nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Filipino communities and his family’s story of migration and assimilation through a blend of documentary and lyrical poetry. Settling St. Malo is a history of Filipino Louisiana in verse and an ode to the struggles of our immigrant ancestors, a collection of poems whose substance, language, and rhythms are informed by oral histories, diaries, letters, and government documents―poems infused with cultural and visual landscapes and driven by a poet’s desire to account for a lost heritage.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access Settling St. Malo by Randy Gonzales. Crafted for the discerning reader.
