oh goody! incidentally Ian Rosales Casocot was my Philippine Lit teacher at Silliman University! Ahhh he's a good one! I remember the first day of class when he read his "bisaya" poem which was err graphically x-rated but tastefully done...hahaha he made me love Philippine Lit... :) My fave is Dead Stars by Paz Marquez Benitez...
ReplyDeleteI've read some of his works on the recommendation of an acquaintance of mine, Dean Alfar. I think he has one of his works published in a local anthology, and he's got several Palanca's right? He is good!
ReplyDeleteUy, you're from Siliman? I'd love to go there! I had a professor who studied there, Francis Macansantos.
