Angela Gabrielle Fabunan, 25, attained her BA from Bowdoin College and is pursuing her MA in Creative Writing at the University of the Philippines. Her work has appeared in The Ofi Press Magazine and The Philippine Daily Inquirer. She is an aspiring poet and fictionist, with a love of throwing around words like playing with a yo-yo. Her early inspirations came from picture books that emerged from Mom's balikbayan boxes when Mom came home from travels. Until now, the balikbayan culture, going to and from the homeland, continues to intrigue her; and the definition of "home" continues to elude her. [Poetry]
