In the News: Rare Greek Scroll Found With Egyptian Mummy More than 2,000 years ago, a roll of papyrus with extensive writings was enshrouded with a body that was mummified for preservation. The scroll is the oldest surviving example of a Greek poetry book, according to scholars who have been studying it. Just for the poem of it, you might want to print this Poetic License and hang it on your wall and point it out to anyone who doubts your poetic skill!

I submitted some of my poems for possible inclusion in the forthcoming issue of The Sunday Times and Kabayan . I am still on the verge of updating the Pinabli: A Journal of Pangasinan Poetry section. I've not updated it for a month or so. And here's a loose translation of my poem entitled Catwalk published in The Sunday Times last 29 October.

Philippine Literary Workshops and Contests: Forces in Literary Growth by Cirilo F. Bautista As a communal text, any literary discourse is a contrived utterance that addresses several levels of reality, but to communicate through this text, writer and reader must put into operation certain sociological processes that will make it intelligible. "I write, therefore, I am," might as well provide the structural foundation of this sociology. To write a poem or a story involves the deliberate reworking of social elements to achieve the writer's intention. But it is, first of all, a linguistic construction, fixed in a situs of specific explication, demanding of the writer and the reader a vast expertise in language, in the first, to configurate the human condition according to a planned aesthetics, in the second, to be able to embrace it. Yet another poem in Pangasinan language: dala na tumatagaumen * insulat mo so ampait a bilay asugat tan apuulan so papil ed dalam pinaekatan m...

A couple of days ago I submitted some of my poems for the forthcoming issue of the 3rd Muse Poetry Journal . I'm hoping that at least one of my poems will be published in the said journal. Anyway, my friend Jason invited me last night to watch the play entitled El Publico performed by the Dulaang Up at the RCBC Plaza in Makati. Well, we managed to take a couple of reserved seats intended for some foreign guests or so. heehehe! Here's another haiku attempt in Pangasinan language: bougainvillea ed gilig na karsada liglioay mata English translation: bougainvillea on the side of the highway pleasure to the eyes

I found my site linked at walrus.nu (Best of the Cool Daily Pick 10/13/02). Thanks Dan! Submitted 3 of my poems for possible inclusion in Philippine Daily Inquirer's Sunday Magazine. In the News: Kertesz Wins Nobel Literature Prize After Auschwitz, to write poetry is barbaric, a philosopher once concluded. A long line of poets and novelists have thought otherwise, and on Thursday, the Nobel Prize in literature went to Imre Kertesz, a Hungarian novelist and Auschwitz survivor. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s memoirs hit bookstores More than 1 million copies of Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s memoirs have been published ahead of their release this week in Latin America and Spain - a testament to the enduring popularity of the pioneer of magical realism.

I modified the cover page slightly to reload a random display every 20 seconds or so. I also sent my poem entitled Haiku Tagala for the Kabayan hoping that it might be published in their Panitikan (or poetry) section.

I attended last night's book launching of the Malate Literary Folio at De La Salle University with my friend Jason Chancoco. We were given the chance to read poetry along with the members of the Malate Literary Folio, Plaridel, and other guests. Jason read three of his poems and I, my poem entitled Ciryl for Levi Celerio . The poetess Rebecca Añonuevo was also there and graced the event by reading a couple of her poems. It was my first time to read a poem in public and I felt as if I am stepping out of my shell. Might as well memorize some of my poems :-)
