Elmer Omar B.  Pizo

p o e m s

  Elmer is a contemporary Filipino writer currently residing in Hawai'i.  His works have been published in luminary publications such as the Bamboo Ridge Press,  the Hawaii Review, and the Philippine Free Press.  This year, he was chosen by Dr. Edith L. Tiempo (the National Artist of the Philippines for Literature) and the Creative Writing Foundation to be one of the 12 fellows in the recently concluded 39th National Writers Workshop held in Dumaguete City.

     At 40 years of age (and still growing younger), Elmer has seen and gone through much in life.  His works are a testament to lessons learned the hard way, through patience and perseverance.

    Bones from the Graveyard invites you to heed such lessons well.
