Description

Sampaguita: A Condensed Poetry-Travelogue Chapbook of Manila and Baguio is the condensed version of Wilson’s travelogue on his travels in the Philippines back in pre-pandemic 2020—a culmination of his promise made to a friend, as well as his dream to set foot in and write about her country.

In addition to a summarized documentation of his travels and over 100 photographs, Sampaguita features a collection of poetry written during and after the trip—most of them inspired by the haiku in Basho’s famed Oku no Hosomichi travelogue.
