Carlos Bulosan


Carlos Bulosan-Filipino writer and poet. Carlos Bulosan was born in Binalonan, a small village in Pangasinan Province in the central Philippines, on 2 November 1911. In 1942 he published a volume of poetry entitled Letter from America and in 1943 another book of poems, Voice of Bataan, a tribute to those soldiers who died in that battle. America Is in the Heart (1946), considered by many to be his most important work, is a semiautobiographical book describing his boyhood in the Philippines, his journey to America, and the many hardships he encountered as a Filipino and migrant worker in that country.
