016: BABAYLAN, Ch. 11 - "Dawad Action - A Babaylan Poetics"
Description
More than sixteen-times published poet and activist, Ate Eileen Tabrios walks us through the meta meaning of what it means to bring a poem into the world, and how that is to bring the world into the poem (citing her Conjuration #5 poem, p. 262).
Central Ilocos sur area born, Ate Eileen shares her knowledge & the story of the "Man-nawac" who healed her great grandmother.
Her passion for us to expand our consciousness through poems, having them call out to us, has led her to create several successful blog and publishing start ups. They are known as Meritage Press, for its publishing of "Pinoy Poetics", later citing other grass root FIlipinx publishers who do not discriminate publishing other non-Filipinx poets globally, such as T’Boli Press or Arkipelago Expressions.
Her call to action for us is to consider new, creative ways how we approach poetry, literature, and the arts - and that we practice "Kapwa" by continuously supporting each other.
