My August Moon

"Tucked away among napthalene crystals, camphor bottles, pharmacology notes, faded graduation ribbons, frayed memories, written prayers, and unwritten curses, is a fifty or so many years of well-crafted quilt of words" (from D. Casurao y Granados' introduction) which have been well laid-out by Dante A. Rosales into splendid book. This anthology of poetry in English, also co-edited by Fray Paolo Maria Diosdado Casurao y Granados, has initiated a sort-of literary and book publishing revival in the City of Calbayog. The city is home to the award-winning Ibabao Arts Council, Inc. - the current prime mover of the cultural movement in the region.
