Description
In Amulet, Bayani’s visionary language bellows from the pages in a wide-eyed incantation brimming with vitality, anchored in the concept of “home.”
Amulet elucidates what it truly means to be a minority, an American, an activist, a poet. With its richly nuanced pathos, Amulet is a vehicle capable of reanimating us when we need it most. It is a book that is anti-cliche, bellowing for answers and clawing for light.
Advance Praise
Praise for Jason Bayani
“In thoughtful and deftly crafted poems, he explores the social limitations and contradictions of the masculine, the mouth, tongue, voice. Strong-willed and smart, the language of Bayani’s poems pops and bangs, punches, hurls bricks, and then does not flinch from tenderness. Amulet is the opposite of “someone else’s picket line”; it is self-reflective, tough, and articulate, a very welcome addition to our growing Filipino American literary world.”
— Barbara Jane Reyes, author of Poeta en San Francisco and Diwata
Nobody combines brains with guts quite like Jason Bayani. Holy shit, these poems. These are the words of a streetwise introvert, a prophet brawling his way out of rehab. When digging into his work, you know that poetry is alive, kicking and singing. Poetry lovers rejoice - Jason's art can now be passed on and on, and forces you to remember you have hands.
— Bao Phi, author of Song I Sing
