""Penguin Random House Southeast Asia goes from strength to strength with each passing year. Some of its most noteworthy books came from the pen of Filipino writers.... The Balikbayan Artist is a novel by US-based writer Eileen R. Tabios."" --Danton Remoto, The Manila Times ""A daughter of the diaspora, Eileen R. Tabios has redefined the word 'Balikbayan' to signify existential longing and fortitude. Her gift as a writer is that she allows us space to perceive a myriad of human experiences: desire, loathing, horror, outrage, grief, love. It is this universality that awakens us--to counsel us, Always, always: discern with compassion."" --Aileen Cassinetto, Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow & Co-Editor, Dear Human at the Edge of Time ""After exhilarating the poetry world with her marvelously imaginative poetry, Eileen R. Tabios has turned her ever-experimenting, intellectual mindset to the novel. As she did in poetry, her fiction-writing is expanding the landscape of the genre. I know that each of her novels promises to be as unique as each of her poetry collections."" --Sandy McIntosh, poet/memoirist, bestselling author & Publisher of Marsh Hawk Press
