Marne at Legazpi Boulevard

✑

Award-wining poet and
translator (Palanca, National Book, SEA Write),
Marne Kilates presents these pages to anyone interested in poetry, if only for nothing
else but delight.

What They Say

[Poems en Route] brings forth in the reader this singular excitement of watching a masterwork emerge to take its place in our country’s literature.

―Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta

❝

With Poems en Route, Marne Kilates steers us progressively from plane to leverage—through toponyms and name drops, via proems and paeans to place and portage—with the delightful diligence of a chronicler.

―Alfred Yuson

A dangerous poet because his poems subvert our mannered visions of ourselves.

[Introduction to Children of the Snarl]

―Alfredo Navarro Salanga

If one counts by one’s digits the poetry books Marne Kilates has crafted through the years, Lyrical Objects would complete the first handful, and would represent the poet’s… digitus primus….

—Marjorie Evasco

A solid gold poet with a 21-jewel movement.

―Franz Arcellana

Marne's closest rival in poetry is only himself.

―Gémino H. Abad
