Poetry Manuscript Consultations (Winter 2023)
I prioritize Filipina/x poets for manuscript consultation because too many have told me they never had Pinay creative writing teachers or professors, and very few, if any Filipina/x colleagues to read and provide feedback on their works in progress. This can be unhelpful and unproductive/counterproductive, especially when these works attempt to centralize the complexities of …

Wanna Peek Into My Notebook? Notes on Pinay Liminality
|
|
“Some of the most interesting works of ‘Asian American Literature’ thrive in the world of indie publishing and micro presses, where you will find our authors experimenting, prolific, testifying, refusing to conform to any single ‘Asian American’ canonical representation or well-behaved institutional standards.”
― Wanna Peek Into My Notebook? Notes on Pinay Liminality
― Wanna Peek Into My Notebook? Notes on Pinay Liminality
“Why are we reliant upon institutions such as the Poetry Foundation to give us our worth and determine our meaning. Why do we give these others the power [sic] define us. Do we think this is the only way that we will become visible to our own communities. And isn’t this a problem as well.”
― Wanna Peek Into My Notebook? Notes on Pinay Liminality
― Wanna Peek Into My Notebook? Notes on Pinay Liminality
“That fabled Filipina hospitality, so much giving unto others until you are shoeless, penniless, mute, and hollowed out. Hija, you ain’t Jesus, multiplying fishes and loaves.”

Thanks PJ! I got myself one from a long time ago. I bought it at Eastwind Books in Berkeley. Hey BTW, what time is our October reading at? I want to put it in my author events.
Hey BJ, I got extra copies of 'Thirdest World' for you. Do I send you one now or wait til our October reading? xo, Heathcliff Notes
Tara, thanks for the review. We are going to hit some Berkeley bookstores tonight in search of a copy of Make-Shift!Bryan, yeah there is a Poeta en SF group. As per their description, they're not dedicated exclusively to my book, but to SF Bay Area poetry.
Hey Ms. Barbara Jane! I was just talking to my friend Latasha Diggs last night about "Poeta en San Francisco" so she'll probably be checking it out too. Hope all is well in the West.
Barbara Jane Reyes should have at least one comment here, considering there's a whole reading group dedicated to her book Poeta En San Francisco here.
you are an A M A Z I N G poet :)
