1.
Rocket Kapre is releasing the
Ruin And Resolve anthology for free until October 8, 2010. More information
here.
2. After the Storm: Stories on Ondoy is out in stores now. It is a compilation of essays and personal accounts from Typhoon Ketsana survivors. As with Ruin and Resolve, all proceeds go to charity.
From the
Anvil website:
The pieces in After the Storm were mostly written in the midst of and immediately after the typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng in 2009. The writers share their experiences of the typhoon, their insights and reflections, their hopes and aspirations. Long after the news media has moved on to the next big headline, After the Storm hopes to stand as written record to remind everyone that this happened. We were there. We are still here.
I have a Tagalog essay there titled "Kung Paano Hindi Matangay."
