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.

'In poems that both haunt and delight with all their restless perception Neon Manila navigates the glittery maze in which notions of brownness and desirability, queerness and hospitality, intermingle, quarrel, roil, and romp. Like the most delicious gossip and the most devastating prayer, Troy Cabida’s work brings its reader into a world of unflinching vulnerability. Like a lover’s pit-stained, memory-scented turtleneck sweater, this book intoxicates with a stinging clarity. What a stylish and truly bold debut.’
