Lara Saguisag poet, children's book writer and of course, Filipina, is featured in Rutgers University's website. Hers is a story of dreams fulfilled. Lara is the author of There's a Dewende in My Brother's Soup(Lampara Books), a book about a girl coping with the pressures of having an autistic sibling. Her book of poetry, Children of Two Seasons (Anvil Publishing) is a well received collection of poetry for kids by critics here and abroad.
She is currently working on several book projects. We hope to read more of her poetry and books for children.

I remember Miss Lara being our Communications 1 teacher during my freshman year in UP Diliman 1999. I think it was her first year teaching. She introduced the whole class (it was a block section of Computer Science freshies) to the concept of BJ (yeah, that BJ!). It's my most vivid memory of her :D
Nice to know she has done so well as an author and an academic in the US.
