"The dried leaf in our journal is now in smithereens,
Know that in the thousand times we tried—
There are creases we can never unfold"

proud of my advisee! her thesis is an anthology of short stories that zoom in on the lives of queer teenage girls as they come of age in the mythical city of biringan—if anyone cares to move past her rightfully personal acknowledgements.
