Subject: Fwd: Poetry Book on GMA


Dear Friends:

Poet and UP Associate Dean Joi Barrios and I are editing a rush-rush book of poems pushing for GMA's resignation. We need poems (English, Filipino, regional language with English or Filipino translation) for the anthology. Pls tell your friends and yours students about this book. Do write us a poem, too, if you wish. The deadline is this Sunday, July 17. We can't pay in cash but we will pay in copies.

The book will be published before the July 25 State of the Nation Address of Mrs. Arroyo. The publisher is CONTEND (Coalition of Teachers for National Democracy).

Many thanks,

Danton Remoto
