The fifth and latest collection of poetry of esteemed writer  Marjorie Evasco, spanning 50 years of her poetry. This volume of new and collected works includes all of her poetry in her past four books–all of which are out of print.
It Is Time to Come Home is a collection of new and collected poems by Marjorie Evasco. The collection includes her four previous works: Dreamweavers, Ochre Tones, Skin of Water, and Fishes of Light. Her poems come to life in different languages: her mother-tongue Binisaya, Spanish, and English. 

“The many trails and passes through which the poet had led us brings us to the only home that
Evasco has ever sought in all her journeys. It is the one place on earth she would ever be most
at peace in, to which she would gladly return without fear or misgivings, the home she carries
everywhere she goes, bundled with her dreams, wherever the night finds her, whatever
happenstance befalls her in the infinite mutability of carnal life—Poetry, Art. The one
hermitage which fulfills her longing for stillness and completion, the most dependable source
of solace for any human being.”
