About Amnesia: Somebody's Memoir:

"Forgetfulness and remembering are two sides of the same coin—and that coin is anybody! Reading Eileen Tabios, we are reminded about the extent to which we are, after all, the sum of our experiences, and the extent to which my experiences may just as well be yours, or yours or yours or yours! The impressions and remembrances we hold as unique to ourselves may just as well belong to somebody else. Tabios demonstrates their interchangeableness, their downright universality! One might ask, whose memoir is this anyway? AMNESIA: SOMEBODY'S MEMOIR is everybody's memoir!"
—Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino

"Strange things happen when I engage the poetry of Eileen Tabios. Each line in Amnesia... begins with 'I forgot.' I see this line repeatedly and soon I am seeing 'Igorot.' Such is secondary reality: those things often relegated to the periphery of our vision calling now for our attention. Dig deeper, it seems to say. 'Igorot.' I forgot that Eileen Tabios is also from Baguio where, today, tourists still line up to have pictures taken with the Igorot in indigenous attire. I am reminded of the 1906 St Louis Worlds Fair where white spectators had their photos taken next to 'primitive' Philippine natives. Certain scholars say the modern self is masterful but emptied of connections to ancestors, myths, nature, place, history, storytelling, faith and spirituality, community, and dreams. In Amnesia: Somebody's Memoir, I am reminded of all that is Beautiful, Good, and True - but often forgotten: 'Waves rolling away from Asia to storm even the Americas'. "
