This is my third poem in English this month and though still a work-in-progress I already sent it with the poem Urduja for possible publication. In Talam-asin 1324, I used some elements from Pangasinan mythology. For example in the first drafts of the poem, I used Orpheus for Tumatagaumen and Poseidon for Karanuman . I don't know if it will work but I will definitely experiment on my succeeding poems using anything Pangasinan. I am also currently revising some of my old poems.

I was kinda surprised to read Rolando Carbonell's post/message in DILA forums the other day. Carbonell is the author of one of the first poetry books I read while in college particularly his signature book, Beyond Forgetting :) I learned that he stayed for several years in the Himalayas, India, Tibetan monasteries, Egypt, and other sacred sites in his vision quest and search for Enlightenment. He has written now a total of seventy (70) books, all completed in manuscript form ready for publication. For the past two years, he published four books: the seventh printing of Beyond Forgetting, but expanded to twice the size -with new poems and two small books added between its covers. Then, followed by MAGNIFICENCE, divine sonnets; IN THE RADIANCE OF LOVE: The Secret of Peace; and Beyond Eternity. They are now available at selected bookstores. Next will be the publication of his seminal work, MILLENNIUM ORGANUM, a spiritual magna carta for the Golden Age of the Spirt, in ten volumes. Dr

This year we celebrate the Centenary of Neruda with a series of readings starting March 2004 to the end of July 2004 to celebrate his legacy and the ideals of being a "global citizen." Publishers, reading coordinators, and poets are encouraged to setup poetry readings, conferences, and presentations around this theme. To list your event, please visit our site at: http://www.dialoguepoetry.org/neruda.htm 78th sonnet added to the Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan sonito 78 inggulis ko ‘ra’y antigon litra ama’y tataoagen dan baybayin tan inanlong ko ‘ra’y pangoliran ya ataoir ed say Ama-Gaolay bangbalet anggapo’y akatalus say kuan da’ra’y oala'y kakabatan apokripa iran kasulatan tan bengat da met lan pinoolan say kuan da’ra’y oala’y pakauley subersibo iran kanonotan tan impisok da ak ed pangaoan lapu’d ta ag da met atalus

I'm back from a long hiatus... Christmas vacation that is :) The Ulupan has a new Board of Trustees and officers. I was voted to be the Business Manager of the association. It means I am going to have a lot of extracurricular activities again this year. Initial copies of my first book of Pangasinan poetry entitled Pinabli tan arum ni'ran Anlong came out last Dec. 27, 2003. There are some errors in the cover page though. Will have to fix/correct them in the 2nd printing. I was with Dir. Jaime P. Lucas and journalist / historian, Restituto Basa on the 30th of December. They are coming out with a book about the history of the City of Alaminos. I might be joining them again this 17th and 25th of January. And lastly, here is the 75th sonnet added to the Magilion: Soniton Pangasinan . sonito 75 inanlong ko'y pililikna'd luyag ed sinonito iran balikas say kabog ed pagew et talurtur tan ritmo'y silabilan nambilang no maminsan et oala'y saletan na mitatanol ed kada dasi
