It's a marvelous and touching collection of work by a poet who has been at the forefront of Filipino and Asian American writing, activism and culture for decades. He has lived the life, and his words give us fullproof of the struggles and yearnings of Filipinos in America. - Jean Vengua, Tulitos Press Peñaranda's poems, like his stories, are lyrical testimonials of what is, what isn't, and an intense longing for what can never be. His voice is mature and sensitive, lamenting yet sure. His experience of laboring in the fields of California and in the Alaskan canneries provides him deep respect for the first generations of Pinoys who paved the path before him. Following in the footsteps of Carlos Bulosan, Peñaranda gives witness to the struggle of daily life with dignity and compassion.- Jeff TagamiOscar Peñaranda chose Poetry to tell stories, most notably of the Filipino American experience. So why didn't he choose fiction? Because the stories resonate beyond what can be expressed by words. What breathes between the lines of his poems is an ache-ridden love borne of the mating of loss and desire -- a haunting that transcends such references as \"There was this\/ ragged iron bar\/ that by accident crushed my\/ toe\/ when I with leathered gloves\/ worked with steel\/ in Alaska...\" Fortunately, Poetry also chose Oscar Peñaranda, as evident in a poem like \"A Song\" where he sings, \"So long as the world\/ touches me\/ my heart strings will never stop\/ playing the music.\"- Eileen Tabios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOscar Peñaranda was born in the seacoast town of Barugo on the Island of Leyte, Philippines. His family moved to Manila when he was five years old, returning to Barugo almost every vacation time - Christmas, Easter, Summer. In Manila he absorbed Tagalog (from the streets) and English (from the schools). He was trilingual and tricultural at a young age. With Waray as his first language, then Tagalog and English his second and third. When he was twelve years old, his family moved to Vancouver, Canada (1956) because his father (a foreign service officer) was one of about ten other officers assigned by the Philippine government to open the first Philippine Consulate in Canada. The families of these Filipino officers would be the only Filipinos they would ever know in Canada. He lived in Vancouver, Canada for five years, between the ages of 12 to 17. On his senior year of high school his family was transferred to San Francisco where he went to St. Ignatius High School. From this time on, Peñaranda has pretty much called San Francisco home. Yet, not really. He explores, among other themes, this ambiguity in his works. He earned his B.A. (in Literature) and M.A. (Creative Writing) at San Francisco State University where he became part of the struggle to establish Ethnic Studies in the schools. In the summers, he held many odd jobs including hotel help in Las Vegas. He was there when Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) won the heavyweight championship of the world. He worked in the fields of California picking all sorts of x fruits. He also worked in Alaskan fishing canneries for 15 consecutive summers. Some of his farmworker colleagues joined him in Alaska. His work clothes and gear are still there waiting for him. From San Francisco State University, he received his B.A. in Literature and M.A. in Creative Writing. He taught at San Francisco State for 12 years, Everett Middle School for 10 years, and is currently teaching at James Logan High School in Union City, California. He helped found the San Francisco Chapter of the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) as its first president. He also belongs to the Filipino American Educators Association of California (FAEAC). He advocates for the teaching and creation of Filipino Heritage Studies and Filipino (language) in all his educational efforts. He now lives in San Leandro, California, with his wife Luisa and daughter Milena.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: T'Boli (2004)\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 188776460-7\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-18-8-776460-5","brand":"T'Boli Publishing \u0026 Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567442018470,"sku":"","price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/0c821a64b4add1a17f2e3cd57fb2e632.jpg?v=1616549771"},{"product_id":"the-gods-we-worship-live-next-door-by-bino-a-realuyo","title":"The Gods We Worship Live Next Door by Bino A.

The collection, which examines the larger concepts of salvation and temptation in a world of blossoming strife, includes a series of aubades – dramatic poems culminating with the separation of lovers at dawn. The lovers suffer a metaphysical crisis, seeking to know what is good, what is evil, and how to truly know the difference. Knowing, however, invites the terrible into their world. The Devil, a seductive trickster, haunts the landscape as a voice who dares each inquisitor to learn about mortality, morality, the beautiful, and the unspeakable through direct experience. Furious Lullaby offers a departure from the lighter prose poetry of de la Paz’s Names above Houses and preserves the author’s concern with the nature of human grace.“ The poems in Furious Lullaby contain as much mischief as they do music, surprising the reader with a chorus of unexpected voices—a scapula, the dead, the Devil—and weaving those moments into a series of heartbreaking aubades that sing to the gorgeous melancholy of memory and loss.”—Rigoberto Gonzalez, author of Other Fugitives and Other Strangers“ These poems have a quiet eroticism, a voice that makes you want to lean in closer. Oliver de la Paz’s seductive lyricism draws us in; we find the beauty of the body, and its desires mark us as creatures of loneliness and mystery. The poems are meant not merely to explore this paradox, but to comfort, to sing in the dark, to do what poems do—find sublimity and timelessness.

Jacinto’s lyric speaker observes the quiet catastrophes of life: a bum outside a hotel door coughing, a funeral procession, a father facing his impending death, a stripper dancing for GIs, among other such circumstances. His work shuttles back and forth between the Philippines and the United States and in those cross and criss-crossings asks us continually to consider how histories of colonialism and violence intrude into the everyday. In “Tongue-Tied,” the speaker describes his experience being beaten by priests when he is unable to pronounce English perfectly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn “Apparition,” families wait for fathers who have presumably gone to the United States in search of fortune and economic success, only to be left with a haunting presence that never takes shape.

Javier hits the big notes in this collection: sex, romance, even aging and regret. The poetry often comes in the form of prose, as the discussion of a play or movie takes the place of life, the characters you and I; of humorous investigation, both abroad (the Philippines) and at home (Queens); and of visual poetry, in which comics collide with sly wit. All this with the multi-cultural vantage we expect from the poet, which comes to the fore in later sections, abetted by found images and typography. 'if I'm like a piece of bok choy then you are probably  a piece of broccoli. It's just the communication thing.' Listen to this book, watch it, lap it up\"—Vincent Katz. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe accents in 'The Feeling Is Actual' are shrapnelled clips of attention that cluster in Javier's incendiary field of poetic perception. The texts reconnoiter and reveal, scope and identify the minute registers of alienation and disjunction at the edges of words. Joker: I'm a man of my word. Words that jar with a syllabic static to recuperate a palpable interference in the channels of this racialized\/radicalized writing. a missed sipping\/ a musty reeve.

This is rush-hour poetry, so pay attention! --Fred Wah The best magicians narrate what they're doing and speak so beautifully they can pull off their tricks right before your eyes, candor as gambit. Paolo Javier gives away his plans to combine \u0026amp; recombine handwritten \u0026amp; printed jokes\/ song lyrics\/news articles\/ advertising copy\/ with graphic snippets of appropriated cartoons to reduce comic images to visual shorthand, and thus he gets away with murder.

Although excessive in many ways, the poems may have some value for the cultural historian as artifacts, proofs of evidences of this or that influence and trend, relics, incunabula--all that deserves an elegy, a prelude to a celebration of ruins. On the whole, the poems here--with some exceptions --- are divertissements in honor of exactly Nothing, what Maliarme calls \"the Azure.\" The Void of the petty bourgeois mind.

He took his Chow Chow-Shiba Inu mix dog, Koa, along with him on his daily runs. Within a month, he started to connect with nature, appreciating the birds, trees, flowers, ocean, sun rises and sunsets. Then, he started to form haiku poems in his mind as he ran. His lovefest for nature and haikus led him to get carried away with his running. Before he knew it, he was running eight, nine and ten miles. He started running in July 2011 and is still running in 2013 with Koa and writing haiku poems every day. His life has become more spiritual than before. Steve has three more books slated for publication in 2013, but he hopes to publish a minimum of five books this year. His book has been well-received by its first reviewers, giving him 4 and 5-star ratings. Steve's poetry is deeply personal to him and he hopes that you'll savor every line and every haiku slowly, like fine wine. He wants you to take a moment and feel the message.

He has done voiceovers, body double and background work. His love and preference is in doing voiceovers because he gets to create a character that people can only imagine and because he'd rather remain somewhat visually unseen. He is of mixed Pacific-Asian-European descent. Born and reared on a sugar plantation in Waialua, Hawai'i, he has been working on his books for some twenty-plus years. This year, he has a total of four books to be publish, Haikus For Life, being the first of the four. The other three books are, My Amazing Divine Mercy Experience, Prince of the Plantation and Haikus For Life Vol. 2, which will include poems he wrote in 2012. Haikus For Life came about through his love for running with Mother Nature. After a three-year hiatus, he started running again in 2011. He began to reacquaint himself with the sights, sounds, smells, texture and in some cases, tastes of nature's beauty. He then started take snapshots of what he saw and felt. Haiku poems began to flow naturally through his heart and soul. He kept a personal blog updated daily. The result, Haikus For Life! Steve is deeply spiritual, although he enjoys writing music, playing music with his friends in their band, Da 2nd Wind Band. He relishes living every moment of his life to the fullest with his wife, children and closest friends. Otherwise, he is a very private person. It is in his private moments that he collects his thoughts of the day and expresses them in poetry and in song. Watch for his upcoming books: 1. The Divine Mercy: An Amazing Journey 2. Prince of the Plantation 3. Haikus for Life - Volume 2 4. Haikus For Life - Volume 3 Steve now resides in Chula Vista, CA with his wife, Regina (the Queen Mum) and their two children, Matthew (Gift from God) and Gabrielle (God's Strength).

In the wake of recent presidential elections in the United States and in the Philippines, Gloria’s latest collection sharpens his obsession with arrivals and departures, gun violence, displacement, cultural legacy, and the bitter divisions in America. Through the voice of Nacirema, the central persona of the collection, we are introduced to a character who chooses mystery and inhabits landscapes fraught with beauty and brutality. Gloria quotes melodies from seventies soul and jazz, blending the urban lament of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane with the idiom of Stevie Wonder and Fela Kuti. Sightseer in this Killing City is an argument for grace and perseverance in an era of bombast and bullies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books (Jun 04, 2019)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e112 Pages | 5-1\/2 x 8-7\/16\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN: 978-01-4-313384-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44534454452390,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/9780143133841.jpg?v=1699141020"},{"product_id":"tinig-voice-01-a-journal-of-the-filipino-american-experience-by-filipino-american-student-cultural-center","title":"Tinig \/ Voice 01: A Journal of the Filipino American Experience by Filipino American Student Cultural Center","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOut of Print Title.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe only have 1 copy left.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e If interested, email us: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:info@philippinebookshop.com\" data-mce-href=\"mailto:info@philippinebookshop.com\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einfo@philippinebookshop.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e but do not pay for your order first.
