Book Description
In all cultures and times, the poetic imagination has fed on the natural attributes of islands. An island is either a destination, or a home, or a place of exile and imprisonment, or simply a place to sojourn. It is an ideal vehicle for journeys treated as allegories, or for acts of finding that turn into acts of losing, or the reverse transformation. An island is not a continent; yet it can be an archipelago. An island is both a place in itself and a pretext for imaginings that need a local habitation and a name. It can give relief, and pleasure; or it can frustrate, isolate, and negate. Above all, it both invites and resists - or contains or constrains - the imagination. Poetry and Islands explores how islands become repositories of human longings and desires, a locus for some of our deepest fears and fantasies. It balances historical and geographical reference with a selective approach to poems and poets in English, and in translations into English. The study of particular poems in which islands figure in exemplary ways is balanced by a more detailed discussion of the poets who have played a major role in shaping human responses to islands on a global scale.

Book Description
In Great Philippine Jungle Energy Cafe, everything is happening under the light of eternity. So side by side occur the Revolution of ’96, the demos against Marcos in the ’80s, and banditry in the boondocks in the days of the Guardia Civil. Visayan scenery in Spanish times will conjure up the Silliman summer workshops of the 1960s, while the career of Leon Kilat is simultaneous with the writing of a screenplay based on his life. This hero who becomes a sacristan, who becomes a Singer salesman, who becomes a circus performer, who becomes a revolucionario, is a good a metaphor for the Filipino as any other.
