In this issue, Malate Literary Folio, along with winning
pieces from the 33rd DLSU Annual Awards for Literature and the 8th
DLSU Annual Awards for Visual Arts invites the reader on a journey
of growth through external introspection—to look inward and find
your place outward. Allow these works to converse with you, that
you might learn more about yourself in another’s self. In doing so,
may the reader ultimately discover a newfound solace during moments of mutual solitude.
