Three of my poems appeared in the first edition of Ardent!
And here is my latest standard bio:
Santiago (Sonny) B. Villafania is a Pangasinan poet and Web designer based in Manila, PH. He writes in Pangasinan, Tagalog (Filipino) and English. Some of his poems have appeared in local and international print publications. An advocate of the preservation and the revival of Pangasinan (one of the eight major languages of the Philippines) as a literary language.
His first book of Pangasinan poetry entitled Pinabli tan arum ni'ran Anlong (Beloved and other Poems) won him the Writer of the Year Award in his province. He is coming out with his second book of Pangasinan poetry, Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan (a collection of experimental Pangasinan sonnets).
Sonny also edits the Makata (Poet), a succinct international poetry on-line magazine.
Ummmm... notice the lack of literary workshops? I didn't make it to the 11th Iligan National Writers Workshop this year. Too elusive! duh!
