The first one you’ll  fight  and  die for, as much as join  up  a  Ping-for-Prez campaign for.

Let me explain.

First off, our longtime buddy Luis Francia has received the 2002 PEN Center Open Award for his book of essays, Eye of the Fish: A Personal Archipelago (Kaya Press, 2001), which we lavished with praise in this space last year. 


The New York-based Francia is on a princely roll. A special evening at UCLA has been arranged to celebrate the book and its author on May 2.
