• Dreamweavers: Selected Poems 1976-1986 (1987)


  A collection of poems that delves into themes of origins and cultural identity. The poet draws inspiration from traditional Asian handwoven fabrics, particularly the "Mata" or "Eye" motif, which symbolizes keys, locks, openings, and closures. The poems in Dreamweavers reflect a deep connection to history, culture, and the complexities of identity, offering a rich tapestry of imagery and symbolism that intertwines personal and collective narratives.

  
• Ed Farolan: 'Dreamweavers is a collection of poetry for women, and Marj Evasco commits her vision as a woman in these poems. But men, who are sons of women, can feel their mothers' voices, feelings, passions, and angsts evoked in this collection.'

  
• Ochre Tones: Poems in English and Cebuano (1999)


  Evasco's second collection of poems, following Dreamweavers (1986). Evasco describes this as a "book of changes." In this collection, Evasco expresses a longing to write in her native language, Bisaya, after a writing residency in Scotland. The poet-in-exile grapples with her separation from her mother tongue, embarking on a journey that leads her to attempt writing in Binisayi, starting from her time in Scotland and extending to the coastal town of Boljoon, Cebu. This work reflects Evasco's exploration of language, identity, and the creative process, capturing themes of change, longing, and the complexities of linguistic and cultural heritage.
