Mindanao on My Mind and Other Musings

Eight years after Nikki Rivera Gomez came out with his first anthology: Coffee and Dreams on a Late Afternoon: Tales of Despair and Deliverance in Mindanao, comes this second volume of essays on his troubled but steadfast homeland. Mindanao on My Mind and Other Musings spans nearly three decades of the author’s insights, from a quieter Davao to today’s unrelenting progress from college theater threatened watersheds, from old poems to unyielding Baby Boomers, from the romance of yore to the quest for peace. This book is as much the Mindanawon’s gaze into his eventful past as it is a journey into his hopeful future.
