    EDITH TIEMPO
    National Artist for Literature (1999)
    (April 22, 1919 – August 21, 2011)

    A poet, fictionist, teacher and


    literary critic, Edith L. Tiempo is
    one of the finest Filipino writers in
    English. Her works are
    characterized by a remarkable
    fusion of style and substance, of
    craftsmanship and insight. Born on
    April 22, 1919 in Bayombong,
    Nueva Vizcaya, her poems are
    intricate verbal transfigurations of
    significant experiences as revealed,
    in two of her much anthologized
    pieces, “The Little Marmoset” and
    “Bonsai”. As fictionist, Tiempo is
    as morally profound. Her language
    has been marked as “descriptive but
    unburdened by scrupulous
    detailing.” She is an influential
    tradition in Philippine literature in
    English. Together with her late
    husband, Edilberto K. Tiempo, she
    founded and directed the Silliman
    National Writers Workshop in
    Dumaguete City, which has
    produced some of the country’s best
    writers.
