We continue our serial report on poetry books we received last year. Last week’s part one cited Fil-Am poet-publisher Eileen Tabios’ two collections, published in California and Australia, and one by Manila poet-journalist Ramil Digal Gulle.

We must congratulate our expatriate brothers and sisters, this time specifically our men and women of letters in the United States, for quite a coup they’re pulling off this weekend. 


"Moving Archipelago: A Century of Writing Filipino America," a literary event consisting of a conference and readings, will be conducted this weekend, Nov. 10 and 11, at NYU’s SCPS Conference Center at the historic Woolworth Bldg. in New York City.

I know that every Thursday or Friday at the latest, wherever I may find myself, I have to write my column and see to its transmission before the deadline, so that it comes out on Monday without fail.

The book assembles 85 poems on fathers written by 60 Filipino poets, including quite a number who have grown up or who happen to be currently residing abroad. With regards the contributors, here’s quoting from the Intro:

Two other titles (besides Jessica Hagedorn’s Dream Jungle, reviewed here last week) for which our expatriate writers and editors have recently been responsible give us further reason to rejoice. Both are anthologies of "our own voices."
