About this ebook:
A Habit of Shores is the sequel to A Native Clearing (1993). Together with Man of Earth (1989), it covers almost a hundred years of Philippine poetry in English. It comprises Filipino poets born between 1942 and 1976--more than three decades; in all, there are 96 poets, of whom thirty are women poets. That it includes a few Filipino American poets is perhaps suggestive that even in America, the poet has a sense for his shores by which he forges--in its double sense, to fashion and to feign--from English a vocabulary and syntax to speak the language of the blood.

Enjoy the ultimate reading experience. We've made it easy for you to discover and access A Habit of Shores: Filipino Poetry and Verse from English, 60's to the 90's (The Sequel to A Native Clearing) by Gémino H. Abad. Perfect for unwinding at home or reading on the go.
