Pasok sa ANI Literary Yearbook ng Cultural Center of the Philippines

Nakapasok ang English essay kong "South of South Korea" sa ANI 35: The Pinoy as Asian ng CCP. Sa Huwebes, Nobyembre 26, 5:30 PM sa CCP Ramp ang launch.

Tamang-tama at kelangan ko ng pera hehe. Pinalad din akong makapasok sa 3 upcoming publications: English essay sa isang coffeetable book (nabigay na ang talent fee at in-press na), English flash fic sa isang anthology (2011 daw ang release), at Filipino flash fic sa isang journal (di ko alam kung kelan ang launch).

Sana'y makapunta kayo sa paglulunsad. Sa gabing 'yun, mabibili ang aklat sa halagang Php 403 (discounted from Php 504).

The CCP press release:

CCP launches 35th issue of Ani publication

11 November 2009, Pasay City – The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Literary Arts Division will launch Ani 35, The Pinoy as Asian issue, on November 26, 2009, 5:30 p.m., at the CCP Ramp with some of the featured authors reading from their works.

“Ani 35 is devoted to writings by Filipinos on their interaction with other Asian peoples and cultures. This may be interpreted as a response to the call of Dr. Bienvenido Lumbera, National Artist, on the need to reconnect with Southeast Asian literary tradition if we are to survive in this age of globalization,” Herminio S. Beltran, Jr., Literary Arts Division chief and editor of the publication, wrote in the Introduction. “We hope this will inspire the birthing of mechanisms and eventually practices in the Philippine literary/publishing world that will start off a more dynamic interaction among Filipino writers and their counterparts in the Asian continent,” Beltran continued.

Ani 35 features 54 authors who contributed for three sections: poetry; prose (essay and fiction) based on the The Pinoy as Asian theme and; Malayang Haraya for poetry and prose contributions outside the theme.

The 54 authors included in Ani 35 are Mark Angeles, Lilia F. Antonio, G. Mae Aquino, Genevieve L. Asenjo, Abdon M. Balde, Jr., Janet Tauro Batuigas, Gil Beltran, Herminio S. Beltran, Jr., Kristoffer Berse, Jaime Jesus Borlagdan, Raymond Calbay, Catherine Candano, Nonon V. Carandang, Christoffer Mitch Cerda, Joey Stephanie Chua, Kristian S. Cordero, Genaro R. Gojo Cruz, Carlomar Arcangel Daoana, Arvin Tiong Ello, Dennis Espada, Rogerick Fontanilla Fernandez, Reparado Galos III, Dr. Luis Gatmaitan, Joscephine Gomez, Malou Jacob, Ferdinand Pisigan Jarin, Karla Javier, Phillip Kimpo, Jr., Ed Nelson R. Labao, Gexter Ocampo Lacambra, Erwin C. Lareza, Jeffrey A. Lubang, Glenn Sevilla Mas, Perry C. Mangilaya, Noahlyn Maranan, Francisco Arias Monteseña, Ruth V.
