Several weeks ago, I received one of those usual e-mailed questionnaires from a student doing a paper. What was unusual with this one was that it wasn’t asking me about myself, or my writing, but about a group I have always delighted in being associated with: the Philippine Literary Arts Council or PLAC.

It may be silly and presumptuous to introduce a book that hasn’t even been accepted yet for publication, but humor me as I compose this piece — here in my Umbrian hermitage about which I’ll write some other time — trying to justify why I just e-mailed a collection of my poems to a friend who just might be foolish enough to publish them.

Several weeks ago, I received one of those usual e-mailed questionnaires from a student doing a paper. What was unusual with this one was that it wasn’t asking me about myself, or my writing, but about a group I have always delighted in being associated with: the Philippine Literary Arts Council or PLAC.
