Line Affairs: Poems

In Line Affairs, Lawdenmarc Decamora traces the shifting boundaries between language and desire, geography and memory. These poems inhabit airports, islands, bridges, and city streets, yet remain equally attentive to the unseen lines that shape identity and longing. With startling metaphors and a restless, cosmopolitan imagination, Decamora moves between the Philippines and elsewhere, between history's inheritances and the urgencies of the present. By turns playful and meditative, intimate and expansive, Line Affairs invites readers into a world where connection is fragile, distances collapse, and every crossing leaves its mark.
