Customer Reviews of Returning a Borrowed Tongue: Poems by Filipino and Filipino American Writers
Experiencing the Disporia This book is a must read for those trying to understand the assimilation of Filipino's into the American society. At times the works were rather deep, but after a bit of study, it is a total delight. I must say a lot of the material is not "easy reading" but it is all worth the effort.
Cerebral
This book was not what I expected, expecially after reading the previous reviews. The poetry is excellent but very cerebral! It is a Filipino version of what you study in Humanities in college.
All In One Place
Returning A Borrowed Tongue gathers the work of prominent poets who are Filipino or Filipino-American. The established writers, Gemino Abad, NVM Gonzalez, Jessica Hagedorn, are presented along with new voices like Jaime Jacinto. It sounds trite but I laughed, I cried, I read some of them over and over and wanted to talk to the poets themselves! Get this book if you have one drop of Filipino blood in you. Or even if you don't.
