What makes Sustaining the Archipelago stand out from other poetry anthologies that tackle ecological themes? Kristine Ong Muslim: Tell us about ecopoetry and what inspired you to anthologize ecopoems by Filipinos. I recently spoke with Chua, in part because the anthology speaks to many of the same environmental themes as Age of Blight, my short story collection from Unnamed Press that grapples with humanity’s role in the destruction and possible restoration of the natural world, among other things. Rina Garcia Chua is the editor of Sustaining the Archipelago: An Anthology of Philippine Ecopoetry, the first-ever ecopoetics anthology in the Philippines, which will be released later this year by the University of Santo Tomas Publishing House, a Manila-based university press.
