Book excerpt: "It began when Eileen R. Tabios in 2000 read Richard Brautigan's novel, The Hawkline Monster, and was inspired by one of its characters: "Cameron was a counter. He vomited nineteen times to San Francisco. He liked to count everything." From that moment on, Tabios began a Counting Journal in which she kept track of anything she could count as her days unfolded. The journal would come to reference, in 2001, the Selected Letters of Jack Kerouac where Kerouac is quoted as saying, "I think American haikus should never have more than 3 words in a line." Tabios recalled both moments on her first poetic blog, WINEPOETICS, as background to her decision to invent a "Pinoy Haiku" form that would come to be known as the "hay(na)ku." This new poetic form's name is a pun off of the Filipino exclamation "Hay naku!" which is used in a variety of situations in the same way the English "Oh!" is interjected. Inaugurated on June 12, 2003, the hay(na)ku is deceptively simple with its form of a tercet comprised of one-, two-, and three-word lines. The form swiftly became popular and since has been used by poets from all over the world."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blind Chatelaine's Keys takes its impetus from three impossibilities: (i) biography (and autobiography) - something is always left out, (ii) artistic criticism - the critic,s subjectivity inevitably comes to play, and (iii) pure persona in poems -the poet's self remains a presence no matter how much a poet may wish to disrupt the 'I'. Eileen R. Tabios, known as 'Chatelaine' in poetry blogland, uses others' criticisms and engagements of her writings to create a narrative arc that serves as a biography. Since the biography is based (mostly) on her poems, it conceptually pushes the idea summed up by Ted Berrigan: 'there is a self inside almost all of the poems'. The Blind Chatelaine's Keys is also a poetics, but laid out by others based on Tabios' poems. Not only is this ideal as one doesn't want to apply proscriptive paradigms on art, but, according to Tabios, it reflects the way of 'Kapwa' - a Filipino cultural concept of interconnectedness whereby other people are not 'others' but part of what one is. The featured critical engagements were also chosen for what the reviews say about their authors. The results address the Chatelaine's core poetics: while Rimbaud says, 'I is Another,' the Chatelaine cheerfully notes, 'Moi is all about Toi.' When Tabios finally speaks for herself - it is to inaugurate a new poetic form: the 'haybun.' While this form is inspired by the 'haibun' associated with Basho, the 'haybun' relies on the 'hay(na)ku'. The ?hay(na)ku' is an earlier invention by Tabios which has become a popular 21st century form, undertaken by numerous poets worldwide. Through the haybun, Tabios offers a memoir of a failed adoption attempt, 'Looking for M.', which has been praised by adoption professionals.

Book excerpt: The "World" in Robert Lee Brewer's Solving the World's Problems is a slippery world ... where chaos always hovers near, where we are (and should be) "splashing around in dark puddles." And one feels a bit dizzy reading these poems because (while always clear, always full of meaning) they come at reality slantwise so that nothing is quite the same and the reader comes away with a new way of looking at the ordinary objects and events of life. The poems are brim-full of surprises and delights, twists in the language, double-meanings of words, leaps of thought and imagination, interesting line-breaks. There are love and relationship poems, dream poems, poems of life in the modern world. And always the sense (as he writes) of "pulling the world closer to me/leaves falling to the ground/ birds flying south." I read these once, twice with great enjoyment. I will go back to them often. -Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Then, Something

Are they under a magical spell? Hannah loves taking her dog, Pippin, for a walk and ambling around the city. Everything is so beautiful in spring! Insects buzz busily through the air, and the sun shines brightly. However, Hannah notices that something is not right; something is going on in the city. Why is her neighbor Carol so distracted and greets her without even looking into her eyes? And those children sitting on that park bench, why don't they talk to each other or play...? Pippin and Hannah, curious, continue walking through the city trying to solve the mystery. They all seem to have something on their hands that takes them away from reality! Determined to show others what they are missing —a very blue sky, the flowers hanging from the trees...—, Hannah carries out a plan. Will she be able to wake them up?

Book excerpt: Poetry. Pacific Studies. A TRANSPACIFIC POETICS is a collection of poetry, essays, and poetics committed to transcultural experimental witness in both hemispheres of the Pacific and Oceania. The works in ATPP re-map identity and locale in their modes of argumentation, resituated genres, and textual innovations. "A TRANSPACIFIC POETICS beautifully inscribes what the Barbadian poet Kamau Brathwaite would call 'tidalectics' by following multiple voice waves across the region and by capturing their registers in an astounding range of genres. A collection of poetry and prose that includes entries such as memory cards, lists and palimpsests, counting journals, scripts, the necropastoral, and critical essays, readers will follow the rhythms of translation and the transcultural, where wavescrashwavescrashwavescrash." --Elizabeth Deloughrey

Book excerpt: An endless festival amidst an endless war is the central image of this novel of the Philippines of the time of Marcos. Three young people seek relief from the suffocating repression and brutality of the Dictatorship by joining an ancient festival in the island of K----. They find instead that the war has followed them and that the festival is but a metaphor for an entire society and culture in conflict. The three find distinct destinies of death, liberation, affirmation and ultimately, salvation. This book is now considered a classic of Philippine literature.
