AB Toponyms are naming of places. Toponyms go beyond just names of places but serves as symbolic carriers of history and the memory attached to a place.  This article intends to examine the toponyms and microtoponyms of select poetry of Chus Pato’s anthology M-Tala through a close textual analysis. This article utilizes Michel de Certeau's concept of toponyms, as presented in his seminal work The Practice of Everyday Life (1984), to analyze how place names extend beyond their geographical roles to function as sites of memory, identity, and resistance. This article intends to highlight the value of regional culture as counter-narratives to the cultural homogenization that is brought in by internal and modern globalizing pressures.
