Blood sacrifice (Philippine writers series) by Maria Luisa B. Aguilar- Cariño

Maria Luisa A. Carino's poetry inhabits the heart first, then the mind, and the soul. For me, reading her poetry is a privilege I very seldom get--sought for and bestowed to me without reservations. Her work contains some of the most extraordinary and most polished poetry written by a Filipino poet writing in English today. Her command of language shows she has the astounding maturity of styles that separate her from the rest of her generation of writers. Here is the poetry that will last this generation and the generations to come. Bravo. -Carlos Angeles, poet and author of 'A Stun of Jewels and a Bruise of Ashes'
