This project of "balikbayan" (homecoming) unfolds through poems and
graphics--in-progress spanning four decades of exile. It seeks to
map one emigre's itinerary through terrains of disruption and
dislocation. Written in English and in Filipino (with translations
into Chinese, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian), these
traces of the writer's journey strive to foreground the ordeals of
deterritorialization shared by all colonized peoples--a universal
experience given a local habitation and name in the trajectory of
this flight in search of passages to uncharted shores. Less a
Baedeker for remembering or reaching a destination, this palimpsest
of tropes/signs hopes to construct zones of departure for
discovering new territory built out of a history of collective
sacrifices grounding our dreams and desires. Exile is the name for
this material process of renewal and liberation--love for whoever
is returning, the beloved fulfilling the promise of redemption in
the birth pangs of revolutionary struggle.
