Electric new verse from the winner of the 2005 Global Filipino Literary
Award for Poetry.
Both surrealistic and urgently on-point, these boisterous poems comprise
an identity crisis in the age of New Media. Sarah Gambito writes with
verve on the complicated collision of ethnicity, sex, immigration, and
nationality, her playfulness and pop-culture savvy offering cover for
her surprise attacks of direct, even confrontational engagement: "Am I
frightening you?" she asks. "I'm frightening you. // Good and good and
good and good."
