		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve actually looked at the manuscript, and I am ambivalent about what I&#8217;ve been doing (and not doing) about it. Indeed, I&#8217;ve been busy with teaching, with all kinds of community work, stuff that end up taking precedence whether I want them to or not. Even though it&#8217;s better not [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d realized, as I was preparing my presentation, that not only was I (and the collection) asking the more obvious question of &#8220;where is home,&#8221; for the immigrant woman of color poet, and even, where is home for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy birthday to Eduardo Galeano, one of my most favorite writers ever, someone from whom I continue to learn about the craft, the work, and the life of the writer, scribe, and storyteller.  Only Human Darwin told us we are cousins of the apes, not the angels. Later on, we learned we emerged from Africa&#8217;s jungle and [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about practicing &#8220;community&#8221;; there&#8217;s that word again. There are the scare quotes, so then, the operative word should really be &#8220;practicing.&#8221; I am tired of lip-service community, abstract community, community as a threat.

		<description><![CDATA[I know that promoting my existing books is still very important. I love that as recently as this past summer, I was still doing a Poeta en San Francisco book talk, and will most likely be doing more. I love that that book's got legs, that it's still being taught, that there's continued interest and enthusiasm about it. I keep meeting grad students whose professors are recommending or assigning my books, and I have to think this means I am doing something right. 

I am also preparing for two Skype sessions for Diwata in the next couple of months. As I am also preparing for next semester, and teach Filipina Lit at USF, and Filipino American Lit at SFSU, I have decided to teach  Diwata and Poeta respectively. I'd been encouraged by a friend and professor to do so; she'd argued the students would really benefit from their access to my work and to me. The point is -- more book talks, managing two books in my brain, and that I love doing this. ]]></description>

I read with Maxine Chernoff a few years ago for Small Press Traffic&#8217;s reading series, and at the time, she read from Among the Names, (some of) which is written in cento.
