Author Description

Winner of the 27th National Book Awards for Poetry, chosen by the National Book Development Board and the Manila Critics Circle "These poems attest to an admirably dogged insistence on making poetry part of everyday living. Many can be savored for their gentle lyricism and lovely imagery." -- Eileen Tabios "The geography of these poems crosses the globe, traversing the relics left by political cataclysm to find a space sustained by the steadfast beat of the heart." -- Rowena Tiempo Torrevillas
