I submitted some of my poems for possible inclusion in the Poetic Voices Magazine. Also added the Ambibo.com logo and link on the Diurnal section. On the other hand, my www.dalityapi.com domain is gone. Tsk! tsk! tsk! Will get a new domain as soon as I get enough funds. You can still access my EAC subdomain though and my old but reliable Tripod account.

genesis
brightness
crowning my head
godhead within
godhead without
birthed out
of my own womb
and yoni-verse
first-born of
my parthenous mind
desire i am
myself a life-force
incarnate
makir & fakir
and foremost
a poet
with mine eyes
i have spoken
my voice
married the darkness
and the abyss
the fruit
of this incest
is chaos
and out of which
the primal light
sprung from my head
i breathed
shaping the firmament
in rhythmic gyration
heavens were born
poems were unpoemed
i walked
completely
incomplete
upon the ground
where i came to be
questioning my existence
God angered
he beat the hell
out of me
my rib is broken
out of nowhere Eve
appeared
so very womanly o
woe is me

In the News: Singer, Poet Rod Mckuen Ends Exile, Gains New Purpose It would be all too easy to dismiss Rod McKuen as a has-been and an old fogy. After all, the poet, composer and singer just turned 70 at a time when young rappers and nubile singer-songwriters rule the roost in what passes today for performance poetry. For good measure, McKuen, who is emerging from nearly a decade of self-imposed isolation due to depression, thinks rap is "crap" and young people today don't have the work ethics of their elders. I am reposting this poem wherein I mentioned about reading the works of Rod McKuen. kritisismo dia ed limak say libro nen Rod McKuen binukay tan minutektek marakep makatunongan maaro tan makalikna bang balet alioan anlong para ed say diamantin impanutek tan ag nalaram ed balatabat ag nepeg a tukuren so katapew na salita no oala ka’d diminsion da’ra’y tuan umaanlong

I received a call from UP Press regarding my book, Pinabli. They suggested that I should come out with a translation either in Filipino or in English. It would probably take me another year or so to have the translation, one thing more, I am already in the process of writing my second book. I don't want to let go of my Muse at the moment, so the translation will come later. Anyway, I would surely rely now on funds to self-publish the book. It's not that I am in a hurry to publish this book. I believe this is the time for the Pangasinense writers to be heard however small our voice is.

I just received an email today from a friend suggesting that by making a translation of my poems in either or both Filipino and English, would make the possibility of the publication by UP Press more likely. And even those who may not speak Pangasinan can study the literature. I thought of writing those poems in Pangasinan and at the same time translating it in English. But I had second thoughts. I could do it but it would surely take me some time now to do the translations since I am already in the process of writing my second book. One thing more, I am after the promotion of the Pangasinan language. A book written in a less known language such as Pangasinan is a valuable material for translation and even scholarly research later on. Pangasinan writers before me preferred to write in Filipino and/or English and this is the reason why there are only more or less than 100 titles written in Pangasinan language today. Most of these writings were written during the Spanish era and before t...

The buzz words are out! I am already making a noise regarding the publication of the Pinabli tan arum ni'ran Anlong although it's not on the press yet as I am trying to come out with funds for the printing cost. A German Professor at Emilio Aguinaldo College suggested that I should bring the matter to the president of our company but my priority at the moment is the UP Press. A new friend is making some effort to get the book into their attention. Maraming Salamat Po, Mr. Carlos M. Pizarro! On the other hand, I just posted this awhile ago at DILA-philippines group wherein they are currently discussing about the topographical origin of some of the Philippine languages. On the Pangasinan language, I don't think or believe it is an offshoot of the Northeren languages. There's a theory that the Pangasenenses came from the Southeren Sulawesi (Celebes) from where they migrated to Kotabato, then to Kuyo island and then to what is now called Pangasinan.

Huh? my poem in French?
sur le chemin poussiéreux de la vie
est-ce que j’ai fait du bien ?
je n’ai fait qu’écrire
quelques feuillets de poésie
dans ma langue maternelle
en trente-deux ans
est-ce que j’ai fait du bien?
je n’ai fait que vivre
une vie de poète
affamé, sans rien à manger
les pensées sont loin
l’estomac est brûlé par la faim
voilà la vie que j’ai passé mon temps à vivre
une vie exprimée dans le vent
Again, here's a new poem in Pangasinan.
otobayograpiya
inianak ak
ed nansangaan ed Tuliao
dia ed baley a Tolong
ineyag ko'y sikriton ngaran na dyus
dia'd sakey a patakba ono alolong
impaanur da'y baléy
tan kasuldunga'y poseg ko
nen ag da narumog so inkianak'o
ed daan a lunario
pian ak kono umpirmi' salik
ed pasen a kaoalaan to

Yet another Pangasinan sonnet.
ambetel la so siplog na dagem
ya mangitutulak na daluyon
ambalanga la'y kolor na taoen
kasesempet da la'ra'y tibtiblong
nanakad ak ed gilig na dayat
pian naimatonan ko la lamet
so mistirio'y pinankasakeyan

amtak manumtumbok so lioaoa
bang balet mabetbet kon natepet
no say bilonget maneermen met
lapu'd asingger man so lioaoa
ag iran balut makapanulop
