Joseph Legaspi and Sarah Gambito, Poetry Reading
Legaspi,
like William Carlos Williams, can find poetry anywhere. And like his mentor
Pablo Neruda he seems able to locate the mysterious and the magical in the most
common and overlooked objects ... his entire Philippine coming of age pursues
him with its old potency, and the poems born of this inner turmoil shift
seamlessly into a surrealistic mode in which his dreams seem more authentic
than his ordinary day by day life ... It is difficult to over-estimate the
daring and resourcefulness required to complete successfully this astonishingly
original book.
~
Philip Levine
The
poems in Sarah Gambito's first book, Matadora, are sheer juxtapositions
of anything--star fish, Tagalog, frisson-- and the friction very often adds a
political dimension to the poetic. Lovely!"
—Kimiko Hahn
