Prologue
A finalist for the 1943 Pulitzer Prize, Have Come, Am Here was the first book of poetry by this highly-regarded Filipino writer (1908-1997) to be published in the United States. This particular book, per the author's note at the end, introduced "a new method of rhyming, a method which has never been used in the history of English poetry, nor in any poetry. The principle involved is that of reversed consonance [in which] the last principal consonants of a word are reversed for the corresponding rhyme."
