Scott






Featuring 82 poems by 29 of the Philippines’ best young poets in English.

From the Introduction: By subtitling this collection “An Anthology of Philippine Postcolonial Poetry, this is precisely what I wish to editorially endorse, what I wish the prospective reader (local or translocal) to remember, what I intend to announce at the outset: these poems, like the rest of Philippine literature in English, will in fact be largely incomprehensible when decontextualized from the histories that engendered themâ€"particularly the violent histories of colonization that the Philippines, as a geopolitical and indeed national reality, has endured.

I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.--Pablo Neruda

C2H4

On my bedside table: an unused and unread book on drug interactions, my cell phone and a small tub of china gel (my version of tiger's balm)

If you're going through hell...keep on going...

what else? Oh, yea! the santo nga gikulit gikan sa old (read: antique nga tugas) railway track sa sugar plantation up north.
naa pa juy katangag nga haskang dakua nga lansang (morag kumagku ka dak-a). Napalit naku sa Christmas bazaar-night market last year at Php300.00 pesos. A steal already.

It must be comforting to have them near you at night. Keeps the bad vibes away.

I miss my lola's San Antonio de Padua, wish I had it with me right now.

In so many ways, yes. Sa kilid, naa say wooden Ifugao harvest god ug usa ka buntis nga anito. hahhaa
I find pregnant women sexy. One of my dream book project though is to shoot local pregnant women, in nude, for a coffeetable book.

I would love to see that book puhon. It's weird that you mentioned that. I was just looking at Halle Berry's photo spread in a magazine, and was thinking how radiant and beautiful she looked pregnant. Women are most beautiful walking down the aisle inig kasal, and also, when they're pregnant.

How about women who just look pregnant? (mura'g buntis kay ning awas ang fats sa tiyan)

I certainly look forward to a collaborative work, if possible, pohon. I used to edit a travel magazine in Tokyo. I thought overseas Boholanos should have a nice coffeetable book of their hometown to show to their friends, and then we can contribute to Bohol's tourism. Maybe we can get funding from DOT... Just a thought.
