Is scríbhneoir agus acadóir de chuid na nOileán Filipíneach agus na hAstráile í Merlinda Bobis (1959-).

Rugadh í i gCathair Lagazpi i gCúige Albay na nOileán Filipíneach. Rinne sí BA in Ollscoil Aquinas i gCathair Lagazpi agus fuair iarchéimeanna ó Ollscoil Santo Tomas agus Ollscoil Wollongong.

Scríobhann sí i bhFilipínis, i mBíocailis agus i mBéarla, agus meascann sí cuid de dhúchas na nOileán Filipíneach le saol comhaimseartha an inimircigh. Tá duais drámaíochta agus duais ficsin buaite aici.^[1] Tá sí ina damhsóir agus ina healaíontóir chomh maith.

Sliocht as

the sea clings
to the roof of my mouth,
but the tide of my heart
cannot swell.

only this salt-taste,
this dumb remembering,
sharp as the flavour
of fish dried on the beach...(Sliocht as Homecoming (for Mama Ola))

cloíonn an mhuir
le mo charbad
ach ní thagann líonadh
i dtuile mo chroí

níl ann ach blas salainn
cuimhne bhalbh
chomh géar le blas éisc
a tíoradh ar an trá...
