COMING THIS JANUARY 23

One of the bright lights of the recent Bikolnon writing
renaissance, Kristian Cordero presents in his poetry
collection, 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.
