Eileen R. Tabios, of The Chatelaine's Poetics has a new book out:
BEHIND THE BLUE CANVAS: Short Stories By Eileen R. Tabios

*A rich, sensual collection of stories -- a breathtaking, pulsating ride through art, sex, love, and longing.*
--Noel Alumit, LETTERS TO MONTGOMERY CLIFT

*In reading the stories of Eileen Tabios, seductive in their imagery and language, we are drawn into a world peopled by artists, art lovers and art tasters who, variously, are either yielding to or struggling against the irresistible lures of passion. We are compelled to share the characters ecstasy or torment, recognizing the universality of their human engagements. Our recognition comes quickly, given the finesse and integrity of Ms. Tabios' writing.*
-- Luis Cabalquinto, BRIDGEABLE SHORES

BEHIND THE BLUE CANVAS is now available in the Philippines from Giraffe Books (Quezon City). For information, e-mail giraffebooks@asia.com. The book also will be available as of February 2004 in the United States and elsewhere, partly through Amazon.com.
