Description: Working class poetryPhilippino Americans (From the back cover) Some Critical Comments on the 1st Edition: "... October Light is a compassionate and lyrical statement with quiet, deft sketches of rural Filipino Americans... ... By fusing the bitterness and sweetness into each image and line, Tagami forces us to see more clearly the contradictions in our experience as American minorities." - Russell Leong, editor, Amerasia Journal "... Poems that are at once infused with the psychological darkness of a people forced to live on the periphery of white society, and which capture as well the tenacious human spirit that sustained them in their daily struggle to survive." - Geoffrey Dunn, San Francisco Chronical Review "... Each of these poems has a subject — real, honest and committed subjects - so lacking in most contemporary poetry. "Tagami's writing is vivid and true, and so controlled that the reader is more aware of the stories he has to tell, than with the romance of pretty writing." — Gary Soto "Jeff's poetry is about vibrant, alive people. They're real people with real identities and lives. His is accessible poetry, with themes that are variously warm, loving, tender and harsh." — Morton Marcus ABOUT USWe are a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
