"Like the earth on its silver axis, " Eric Gamalinda's poems spin into a "light that is our consolation, " and are all the more moving for their startling recognition that "the jacaranda in bloom is changing the landscape of Los Angeles. These are wonderful luminous poems" (Arthur Sze). "Reckless / in our need for the possible, we knew / there was no naming back, our bags already packed, / the future a religion we could believe in" ("Zero Gravity"). Eric Gamalinda's latest novel, My Sad Republic, was recently awarded the Philippine Centennial Prize for Fiction. |
