Emmanuel Agapito Flores Lacaba was born on December 10, 1948, and died on March 18, 1976), popularly known as Eman Lacaba, was a famous Filipino writer, poet, essayist, playwright, fictionist, scriptwriter, songwriter and activist and he is considered as the only poet warrior of the Philippines.
Emmanuel F. Lacaba has often been compared to the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, a fact he himself alluded to in one of his poems, "Open Letters to Filipino Artists", where he told of his being called "the brown Rimbaud." The comparison stems from the fact that he was, like Rimbaud, an enfant terrible, a literary virtuoso at a very young age--he started writing poetry at 14—and did so like a master even then. The similarity between them became all the more striking when he lost his life without reaching his fortieth year--just like Rimbaud.
