Featuring the work of 3, 164 poets. Completely unpermissioned and unauthorized, pissing off the entire poetry community. Issue 1 (Fall 2008), edited by Stephen McLaughlin and Jim Carpenter. Now available as a 3,785-page PDF (3.9 MB). And just for the poem of it, I certainly did not write the following text associated with my name on page 192. Insolvent as fear To speak the vastness of humility Like a soft star More insolvent than a sky Fear Death A tune of miles An art of neighbors A horizon of duchesses A latitude of knocks A butterfly of hemispheres Interestingly, the e-book is obviously not composed of stolen poems :) Full roster here .

THE AWARDING CEREMONIES for this year’s winners in the Gawad Surian sa Sanaysay-Gantimpalang Collantes were held last August 29 at the Philippine Columbian Association Building at Plaza Dilao in Manila. For writers in Filipino, this annual contest in essay writing is a high test for excellence in craft and critical thinking, centered as it is on a specific stipulated subject. At the same time, the roster of past winners includes the best writers of the country. For this year, participants had to focus their entries on the topic, "Wika Mo. Wikang Filipino. Wika ng Mundo. Mahalaga." The topic has a relevance to the current drive of the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), sponsor of the contest to help clarify the pedagogical situation in the country. The problem of educating people in a society like ours continues to be a big challenge because of linguistic and cultural factors. The national language matter remains to be a thorny issue and stands in the way of promulgating sensi...
