As suggested, I emailed the NCCA's Regional Coordinator for Literature to inquire on the Individual Writer's Grant for my 2nd book Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan. I was told the this Grant hasn't been awarded to a regional language. But what the heck! I could be the first :)
I intend to submit the Malagilion for the the NCCA's Poetry Prize 2003 but the again I doubt if it'll be awarded to a regional language.
Have not heard any news on the NCCA's Ubod Series either. I guess I'll have to wait for a meteor rain and wish!
In the News: Welsh well key to poetic riddle
The mystery surrounding an obscure TS Eliot poem has eventually been solved after the object of his verse - a disused white well - was discovered in a small picturesque Welsh village.
Rabindranath's 62nd death anniversary today
The 62nd death anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore will be observed today to flash back to a literary life spanning over 60 years.
Rabindranath dominates the Bangla literary scene with copiousness of works: over 1,000 poems, nearly two dozen plays and play-lets, eight novels, eight or more volumes of short stories, more than 2,000 songs and a mass of prose works on literary, social, religious, political, and other topics.
After having won world-fame with the mystical-devotional poetry of the English Gitanjali, he dug over much along that particular seam -- a one-sided impression of his work. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with comsummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West.
