From the foreword by Mariel N. Francisco: "The whirlwind of creative energy that is Gilda Cordero-Fernando only seems to gather more force as she moves (incredibly!) toward her 80's. Creating her art fills all her waking hours-which these days have abandoned the circadian rhythm and simply go with the ceaseless flow of her inspirations. More and more it becomes clear to her that art is what will save our country, so it is where she must make a contribution... now comes this fine sheaf of offerings, featuring not only her writing but her extraliterary activities. The gaps in the circle that is the creative self gently close."
