In Song Sonnets, Filipino-born, Australian writer Harold Legaspi imagines and re-images the contours of love, filial, and blood relations, myths and legends and the human dependency to Mother Earth. Song Sonnets is a close encounter with Pinoy heart and spirit, mind and soul against erasure. The sonnets weave Filipino and English languages to espouse the heart (and mortality) of a solitary writer in a world of flux, beneath God(s), heavenly bodies, family, the stars and skies, between air, the fire of seasons, earth and sea. The sonnets are a way to hold the world still and understand the depth of inter-dependent energies which lead to transformation. The writer pays credence to memory and intent capable of transcending non-history, whilst revering William Shakespeare's sonnets to redefine poeties of the canon, and make concrete Filipino-Australian relality with a self-defined past and future.
