a good one, published and winning many awards. When presented with a choice between medical internship and a fellowship at Silliman University, she opted to postpone her medical studies in favor of a summer with poets and writers.
She moved to the United States and married a fine American who not only understood her poetry but her insistence that dishes be piled up first before one paid attention to their cleaning and washing. She bore two wonderful sons who love her so much and I believe understood also her poetry and much later, her pains.
