Kristian Sendon Cordero
PUSUANON: Mga Bersong Bikol With selected Translations by Marne Kilates and Frank Penones Jr.
One of the bright lights of the recent Bikolnon writing renaissance, Kristian Cordero presents in his poetry PUSUANON, intimate sketches and portraits of the people and land of his birth. He does this with a confident hand, cool detachment and, very often, with tongue-in-cheek humor. Fully in command of his material, Cordero's poetic diction deftly fuses real and surreal elements to elicit from the thoughtful reader not only high amusement but also deep understanding.--Luis Cabalquinto
MGA TULANG TULALA/ 2006 Madrigal Gonzales Best First Book Award
'One of Kristian’s most exciting contributions to Bikol and Filipino literature is his poetic production not only in Filipino and the regional lingua franca of Naga- Bikol but also in his native Rinconada Bikol, churning out such gems as Upus, Dapla and Kamgum. By writing literature in the Bikol of Iriga and environs, he has helped preserve this variety of Bikol for posterity.’ Paz Verdades Santos
MGA TULANG TULALA: Piling Tula sa Filipino, Bikol at Rinconada
"Kagilagilalas ang mga pinakamahusay na tula ni Kristian. Para silang mahiwagang binhi na nagpapagitaw ng mga sibol na di mo inakalang lilitaw. Ang sensibilidad na relihiyoso ng awtor ang pinag-uugatan ng mga mumunting himala ng malikhaing imahinasyon."- Bienvenido Lumbera
SANTIGWAR: Mga Rawitdawit sa Bikol asin Filipino
“…Pinatunayan ng makata na bagama’t isa siyang Kristiyano (at maamong kordero ng Diyos) may karapatan pa rin siyang tumalakay sa mga paksang labas o lingid sa kaalaman ng Simbahan. Bilang isang taong nabubuhay sa puro-post-, siya ay hindi maikukulong sa kasalukuyan sa pagbabalik sa mga bagay na napag-iwanan ng nagmamadaling salinlahi.” Vim Nadera

About Kristian Cordero
- CORDERO
- He was almost a priest, and now the enfant terrible of Bikol poetry. He can get away with the delicate lyric and sometimes the hilariously scatological, but one of the living proofs that there is a renaissance of Bikol literature. His deep thought on things ordinary and extraordinary constantly stretches the possibilities of the language.MLKILATES
