First published in 1962,“Fort McKinley”by Lomen depicts the Manila American Cemetery and stands as a representative Sinophone work on the Philippine experience during the Cold War. Although previously studied, it has not been framed within Cold War scholarship, reflecting the broader omission of the Philippines in Taiwan’s Sinophone studies. Lomen revisited the theme nearly thirty years later, yet both poems remain outside such discussions. In the late Cold War, Filipino poet Benito Tan, drawing on local knowledge, responded with his own poem on the same site. As the only Southeast Asian country once colonized by the United States, the Philippines offers a unique space for landscape writing that enables layered reflection, highlighting the distinctive positions of Taiwan and the Philippines in the cultural Cold War. Through cross-regional comparison, this study examines shifts in stance—from pro- American to anti-American to anti-colonialism—across various contexts, revealing divergent landscapes and interpretations. It analyzes how landscape writing bears the multiple transformations of Cold War memory. |
