The Cambridge Companion to Twenty-First Century American Poetry is also recommended reading for its intelligent, in-depth treatment of U.S.-American poetry at the near-turn of the century. The anthology mentions these Filipino-Pilipinx poets: Paolo Javier, Barbara Jane Reyes, Janice Lobo Sapigao, and Eileen R. Tabios.
