And then I remembered that Im a poet. That before I dove into the corporate life early this year, I was coming off years of unceasing personal progress (and feats, as ordained by the lit world). That I was finishing my first book of poetry. Thank you very much, sir Joey, for this powerful, spot-on, inspiring, and honest appraisal of my longest poem, Walang Daglat ang Dagat (which I translated, hastily & inadequately, as The Sea Holds No Brevity). I feel honored to have a work studied alongside those of National Artist Virgilio Senadren Almario, Ariel Dim Borlongan, and Louie Jon A. Sanchez. Or is this (over)reaction a sign that Ive kept myself away from literature for too long? In any case, salamat, sir, sa paghatak muli sa akin sa Panitikan. Yes, may Choose Philippines, pero dapat may Choose Panitikan din. Timing lang, because the LIRA poet-volunteers celebrate our 30th anniv next year. And next year, also my 30th, will see my 1st book of poetry. Itaga na yan sa bato.
