'In TAKE CARE, Eunice Andrada has further developed her poetics as a multilingual woman of Ilonggo ancestry from the Philippines. This new collection, her second after Flood Damages (Giramondo, 2018), interrogates the ethics of possession and custodianship – what determines who takes and who receives?
