Jocelyn Noe, who made our List of Igorot Achievers in Part 10, is a nurse and a poet who released a book of poems entitled Serendipity. This book was recently nominated by her publisher(Outskirts Press) to the EVVY Award given by the Colorado Independent Publisher’s Association “to recognize excellence in self-published and independently published books”. Results will be known on March 23, 2007. Congratulations Jocelyn! That’s quite an accomplishment. We hope you win.
As mentioned in our earlier post about Jocelyn, her poems have a “distinctly Igorot feel and color.” Here are two poems (which we copied from her blog and from her publisher’s website) to illustrate what we meant.
