About Iss
Iss Bautista, an Aklan-born poet, nature writer, and documentarian of the natural world's wonders.
Background
Iss Bautista is an Aklan-born nature writer and poet whose works explore the intersection of ecology and self. A product of UP Diliman's Creative Writing program (University of the Philippines), Iss has honed her craft through a multifaceted career in marketing and decades of “obsessive” note-taking.
Iss currently channels her passion for nature as the Secretary of Aklan Trekkers on Panay Island in the Philippines.
Influenced by nature writers like Rachel Carson, Annie Dillard, and Mary Oliver, she seeks to inspire ecological stewardship and activism through her poetry.
