Canticos: Apat na Boses by K. S. CorderoAfter translating the works of Rilke in Bikol, Cordero, according to award winning poet Alvin Yapan, comes into his own voice to articulate that confrontation with the sacred in this collection of four religious songs. This is a meditation on the experience of dis memberment present in desire and social exile, which are both physical and spiritual, painful and purgative. Cordero shows just how much depth the Bikol language has in its lyricism.
