M. de Gracia Concepcion explores the affective landscape of the Philippine diaspora in this classic collection, which was the first book of poetry to be published by a Filipino writer in the United States. Azucena established Concepcion's national reputation in the 1920s, but it has remained out of print for a century. This centennial edition includes a foreword by Patrick Rosal and a biographical introduction by Emmanuel David.

About M de Gracia Concepcion

Born in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur, in the Philippines in 1895, M. de Gracia Concepcion produced Azucena (G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1925), recognized as the first book of poetry published by a Filipino writer in the United States. Named for a Philippine lily, the collection fell out of print for a century. Concepcion served in the United States Navy during the First World War and later studied at the University of California. A centennial edition of Azucena was reissued by Persea Books in 2025, with a foreword by Patrick Rosal and a biographical introduction by the scholar Emmanuel David, a descendant of the poet.
