TOPAZ ARTS is pleased to host the revival of The Beauty of Ghosts, where the reading had its world premiere in 2007.  This is an idiosyncratic suite of poems envisioned as a theater of poetry. The works revolve around the Filipino immigrant experience in the United States, as seen through the eyes of various individuals, imagined but also real, and deal with the intersections of memory and history, racism, neo-colonialism, hope, survival, and contemporary realities. The revival is presented in honor of Philippine American History Month.
