Gift
Author: Justine Camacho-TajoneraPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105075931
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
This is the first collection of Justine Camacho-Tajonera's poetry, spanning earlier published poems and poems from her blog, Claiming Alexandria, beautifully illustrated by Melissa dela Torre. "This first collection resonates in its deceptive mildness, where it is expansively lyrical but also intellectually grafted to mature commitments as it spans voids and barriers of cultures, broken affinities, and reckless children crossing back to take their due, even as fragile bridges burn." - D.M. Reyes "Justine Camacho-Tajonera explores landscapes of memory and longing with a clear and unwavering eye. Even as she writes of her travels in different parts of the world, her poetry remains deeply personal and engaging. Gift is a splendid first collection." - Jim Pascual Agustin

Book Description
These essays by Philippine and U.S.-based scholars illustrate the dynamism and complexities of the discursive field of Philippine studies as a critique of vestiges of "universalist" (Western/hegemonic) paradigms; as an affirmation of "traditional" and "emergent" cultural practices; as a site for new readings of "old" texts and "new" popular forms brought into the ambit of serious scholarship; and as a liberative space for new art and literary genres.
