Official Website of poet Luisa A. Igloria

Originally from Baguio City in the Philippines, now I live in the Tidewater area where winters are never harsh; I've learned to make a mean crab cake and passably drawl "y'all".

Some of my friends are on Blipfoto and I enjoy looking through their eyes at the world. I'm also loving the many wonderful surprises and discoveries I find here.

Since I traffic in images as well, I figure that being here may give me another way to gently stretch my writing muscles every day.

I think that where language cannot go, poetry resides.
