Neon Manila by Troy Cabida <b> Poetry Book Society Recommendation Winter 2025 </b> #Vuong ⭐ Self Portrait as OthelloPublished 30th October 2025. Neon Manila is an exploration of the queer Filipino body in all of its skin and glitter. Looking at pop music, fashion, jewellery, dating mishaps, and everyday London life, the poems in this collection seek a better grasp of the relationships we build with ourselves, of the internal as constantly contoured by the external.
