Pag-aaral sa Katutubong Anyo #5: Ang Buwan ay...
Gabing tulad nito nang gawin kong berso ang bawat bituin. Pilak na anino ang ilaw ng buwan sa ‘ting mga noo. Kumislap ang hamog sa piling ng damo. Ngayon ay buhaghag, tayantang ang lupa; karayom sa mata ang sinag ng tala. Iisang taludtod sa iisang tula: ang b’wan ay ‘sang sugat; ang gunita, sumpa.

From the article:
My Afghan colleague Aziz looks at the burned girl with mournful eyes. He is dressed in gray slacks, blue shirt. Silver hair combed back, beard trimmed to perfection. But he has the drawn look of sleepless nights.

The mother of a young...

“Die, but only after you observe that the girl who didn’t read never made your heart oscillate with any significant passion, that no one will write the story of your lives, and that she will die, too, with only a mild and tempered regret that nothing ever came of her capacity to love.”

Keeping Things Whole, by Mark Strand
In a field I am the absence of field. This is always the case. Wherever I am I am what is missing. When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body’s been. We all have reasons for moving. I move to keep things whole.
The world is just awesome.

“Social programs in many poor countries tend to benefit people who aren’t those in the greatest need. In health and education for instance, money is spent disproportionately on urban hospitals and universities, as these programs have powerful political constituencies. In most of the countries where they exist, conditional cash transfers are the first programs to truly focus on the...

“A medium has a niche. A sitcom works better on TV than in a newspaper, but a 10,000 word investigative piece about a civic issue works better in a newspaper.
When it arrived the web seemed to fill all of those niches at once. The web was surprisingly good at emulating a TV, a newspaper, a book, or a radio. Which meant that people expected it to answer the questions of each medium, and...
