1. Waray poetry – Translation into Filipino 2. Filipino poetry – Translation into Waray This third collection of Jerry Gracio, originally written in Waray and translated in Filipino gives us the immense sense of possibility for poets and writers in this country who can write in another Philippine language and eventually translate it in Filipino or English. Again, I will argue that in time, we will have to reclassify and reevaluate our standards and categorizations when more of our writers like Gracio return to their other tongues and let us see how these points of return will inform and enrich our notions of national and local literatures.
