Book Description
"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.

Book Description
In ancient times, Japanese samurai were arguably the greatest warriors in modern history. In fact, samurai warriors lived their entire lives rigorously abiding by the Bushido--the Japanese code of chivalry and honor. The Emperor or Shogun wielded centralized powers all over the war-torn country. Directly under the Shogun were the Daimyo, regional and local warlords. Subordinate to the Daimyo were the samurai, a class of highly skilled warriors, which gradually developed in Japan after the Taika reforms of A.D. 641. Feudal Japan rigorously followed Bushido. The samurai code emphasized loyalty to one's master over and above loyalty to one's family. Hence the Shogun oftentimes replaced a weak emperor who merely acted as an imperial figurehead. The Shogun, the likes of Minamoto no Yoritomo, Ashigaka Takauji and Hideyoshi, carried with them the power of life and death over their daimyo and samurai underlings. During peace time many samurai warriors took up the arts by writing and teaching in their leisure hours. Their love of beautiful surroundings was of equal importance to these men who dedicated their lives as full-time soldiers. In the Haiku poems written by the old masters, many of whom lived and died as staunch practitioners of the samurai code. One of the greatest Haiku poets was the renowned samurai, Matsuo Basho (1644-94), who traveled throughout Japan writing and further developing the Haiku style. He died in Osaka, Japan in 1694, but continued to write haiku furiously, up until his death. TODAY, five men and women who dub themselves as Bards from the Far East invite you to promenade in the literary park and bask in the overflowing openness, depth, simplicity and lightness of Haiku poems. Their poems will empower your soul to resonate and appreciate the sad, the beautiful, the tragic and even the lighter side of life... Meet the Bards from the Far East: Carolyn, author ~ Fairy Godmother of Bards and mother to four kids; Danny Gallardo ~ the Bard of the Beautiful Pride of Zambales; Felix Fojas, the Meowing Bard ~ Exorcist Par Excellence and Dean of Poets; Aine Losauro ~ Singer of Overseas Blues, family woman; and last but not least, Sonnet Grandmaster ~ Jose Rizal M. Reyes, The Haiku Shogun.

Book Description
Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. "There are so many paths thru the enchanted forest that is Eileen Tabios' oeuvre that no one can possibly take them all in one lifetime. So it is with something approaching glee that I find here a completely unexpected one: a mid- career 'selected' constructed around her recurring use of the list / catalogue-form. Did I say the list-form? No, pluralize that, and prepare to encounter an entire ecosystem of catalogues and lists. And don't for a minute let this lead you to think that this is a book of 'weak conceptualism', not that there's anything wrong with weakness (in the sense of an antifoundationalism), nor with conceptualism, because there's not. Think rather that you are encountering poetry, sans qualifiers; prepare to read; and (quoting Perec quoting Verne) 'Look with all your eyes, look'. This is the real stuff." John Bloomberg- Rissman"

Book Description
Fiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. From multi-awarded poet, writer, artist, and editor Eileen R. Tabios comes a first novel, DOVELION: A FAIRY TALE FOR OUR TIMES. In this inventive myth that straddles the binary of traditional narrative and experimental fiction, poet Elena Theeland overcomes the trauma of her past to raise a family who would overthrow the dictatorship in Pacifica. She is aided by artist Ernst Blazer whose father, a CIA spy, instigated the murder of Elena's father, a rebel leader. As her family frees Pacifica from the dictator's dynastic regime, Elena discovers herself a member of an indigenous tribe once thought to be erased through genocide. The discovery reveals her life to epitomize the birth of a modern-day "Baybay" in the tradition of Pacifica's indigenous spiritual and community leaders. Unfolding through lyrical and spare vignettes, DOVELION presents the effects of colonialism and empire, while incorporating meditations on poetry, art, orphanhood, and indigenous values. Glimpses are provided of spy warfare, internet-based rebellions, and the insidious effects of beauty pageants. Relief is provided through Elena's love of Wikipedia and the worl'âe(tm)s most simple but delicious recipe for adobo. Ultimately, DOVELION and Elena's story bespeaks the unavoidable nature of humanity: a prevailing interconnection that can cancel past, present, and future into a singular Now.

Book Description
Pagpag is a provocation, connoting both debris and creative refashioning of memory fragments from the Marcos dictatorship--a legacy that, in the words of Philippine nationalist historian Renato Constantino, remains ruefully "a continuing past," especially in today's Duterteland. Here, the remains of the regime, like rescued reminiscences of an era preferred forgotten but not lost are gathered anew in a compelling telling, this time from the lens of a diasporic exile. In this volume, Eileen Tabios captures in scintillating prose the sights, smells, sounds, and ghostly hauntings of that era and offers back to the homeland, as in the gift of a proverbial balikbayan box, her reflections both heartfelt and wrenching. --Lily A. Mendoza, Executive Director, Center for Babaylan Studies, Associate Professor in Culture and Communication, Oakland University, and author of Between the Homeland and the Diaspora: The Politics of Theorizing Filipino and Filipino American Identities
