a bit of good news! Chiaroscuro, my first book of poems, is coming out this march. i just got word from the UST press this morning that they need the cover design, last-minute revisions, etc, by january 30. am doubly happy because my dear alma mater's (UP) press is also publishing my other collection by the end of the year. wasak! salamat kay gelo sa pag-abot at pag-asikaso. tagal ko rin 'tong hinintay.
