Shorelands by Marc Gaba
In stock
A first in Philippine literature, Marc Gaba’s "Shorelands" is built with lines from the first English translation of "El Filibusterismo." Using the Oulipian constrained writing method first developed in 1960s France, "Shorelands" contributes to a new understanding of literature, nationalist agendas, and the current materiality of culture.
“...surrender to the dizzying, fiercely intelligent consciousness at work beneath these poems...”
- Debora Kuan, author of "Xing", on Untitled
“...[M]ythic, cerebral, serious, occasionally violent, prayerful silences...”
- American Poetry Review, on "Have"
“...Reading 'Have' allows us to unfold lives by means of prosody. Reading 'Have' we can distill ‘have’ from its many meanings ranging from ‘possession,’ ‘show,’ ‘include,’ ‘bear,’ ‘partake,’ etc. to ‘undergo,’ ‘to experience’...”
- Raymond de Borja, author of "they day daze"
“...[A]n uncalculated whimsy that delights...”
- Kristine Domingo Falcon, housewife and author of "Alunsina’s Wrist"
