A review by zarvindale
Bago Mo Ako Ipalaot by Luna Sicat Cleto

4.0

The first time I tried reading this book, I gave up on it. So I decided to revisit it years later, and I was delighted by the barrage of Tagalog lyricism that magically happens on the page. I admittedly find the narrative poems quite dwindling, however. But when Luna Sicat Cleto (re)gains that momentum of absolute dramatization, her poems take me to heights I’ve never been before.
