Angela Narciso Torres, poet from San Francisco, visited Manila last June and read before my poetry workshop class in Ateneo. Her brief talk on her very promising vocation as a poet was also well-received by the class.
Two other titles (besides Jessica Hagedorn’s Dream Jungle, reviewed here last week) for which our expatriate writers and editors have recently been responsible give us further reason to rejoice. Both are anthologies of "our own voices."

Well, hoo-hah! This Manila-born-and-bred writer (at least until his mid-20s) has just entered the rolls of Manila’s finest. Of honored artists, that is.

Some of our friends among Fil-Am writers have been making waves, as usual. Congratulations are in order.
First off, our longtime buddy Luis Francia has received the 2002 PEN Center Open Award for his book of essays, Eye of the Fish: A Personal Archipelago (Kaya Press, 2001), which we lavished with praise in this space last year.
The New York-based Francia is on a princely roll. A special evening at UCLA has been arranged to celebrate the book and its author on May 2.
