A BOOK TO PICK UP AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Life Sentences (Contemporary Philippine poetry) (Paperback)
The only thing better than reading this book is hearing Ms. Tabios read her work herself.When I first read the book I was very impressed with her use and command of language, as well as the emotions the poems expressed.. Listening to her reading her own work brought the poems to the next level of understanding: one that was even more ephemeral and poignant.. Buy this book and experience her work yourself.

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!,
By Bino A. Realuyo (Arealuyo@aol.com) (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Life Sentences (Contemporary Philippine poetry) (Paperback)
It is always striking to witness the birth of a poet; but with Eileen Tabios, there is this haunting sense, that although she has only taken poetry seriously for the past few years, she has always been a poet: her voice possesses an absolute command of the seasoned, her diction an intersection of the emotional falling and rising, and her language an echo of precision and unpredictability. Much can be said for someone who is born a poet--I am glad that Eileen Tabios has found herself. Here is a poet to be deciphered for years to come. -- Bino A. Realuyo
