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. Carbonell is an Ilokano-Pangasinense from Tayug, Pangasinan. For the past several years, he lived a semi-monastic life as a yogi and a "monk" - initiated by the Master(s) in 1975, and he disrobed only few years back. Now he is a globalist, universalist, and believer of Utopia.
He has been travelling all over the world lecturing on new age courses, workshops, and seminars, including spiritual retreats in Italy, Hong Kong, Canada, and USA, not to mention, India and Nepal.
On the other hand, here's the 83rd sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan written last December 31, 2003.

nakad ko la lamet so Bocboc West

anggapo’y baleg ya impanguman
asagmak nin siansia’d kaeremna

sankalakap ko so panginaen
sakey ed saray alenleneg lan

ya ilalak nen agi ran Albir
abet-abeten da la’y linaoan
bitbitlaen ira’y ngara-ngaran
anduyan yo pa ‘ra’d kareenan
