The new issue of Moria Poetry has a review by Aileen Ibardaloza of Eileen Tabios' second Marsh Hawk Press book, I TAKE THEE, ENGLISH, FOR MY BELOVED. Aileen's review begins:
ENGLISH came to me like a ‘Third Day Missive’. A collection of poems to break through barriers of empty space and resignation, to point to another way of life: ‘Poetry’.... The 500-paged book is Language that is beautiful, intimate, disquieting. One reads it, pauses, contemplates, and is moved to write – “there (above the footnotes), where the pages end.” And as one writes, one is transformed, much like the [Chinese] Yao brides of old.
