3. LIFE
PAGE 03
Jose Garcia Villa, a Filipino poet, critic, short
story writer and painter, is an important
person to recognize during Filipino American
History Month.

4. Villa was born in 1907 in the Philippine Islands. His early path did
not involve poetry. Instead he began a pre-medical course of study at
the University of the Philippines, eventually switching to pre-law. After
some time, Villa recognized that his true passion was in the creative
arts, and his career as a writer began.

5. In 1929, he published a collection of erotic poems called Man
Songs. This collection was met with some controversy. But that same
year, he was selected for the Best Story of the Year from the Philippine
Free Press magazine for his story called Mir-l-Nisa.

6. Villa moved from the university in the Philippines to attend the
University of New Mexico where he went on to found Clay, a
“mimeograph literary magazine.” After finishing his BA there, he
moved to Columbia University for his post-graduate education.

7. Villa also wrote something he called “comma poems,” where a comma
is included after each word in the poem. As he explained in the preface to
his Volume Two, “The commas are an integral and essential part of the
medium: regulating the poem’s verbal density and time movement:
enabling each word to attain a fuller tonal value, and the line movement to
become more measured.”

8. Villa has won numerous awards, including the 1973 National Artist
of the Philippines for literature. His work in both poetry and
challenging traditional poetic style continues to have an impact in
modern poetry, both for members of the poetry community and other
Asian American writers
