I want to be a poet. And one way to do it, is to have my poems published. Almost two years ago, I submitted my poems to the Cultural Center of the Philippines for their annual literary anthology - ANI 36. My poems didn't make it. It was not the first time I submitted my work to a competition or an anthology. I remembered submitting my work to another anthology, an online literary folio and a literary workshop. But none had ever stop me from writing. The ANI did. Hehehe. But this year, I started writing again.
Why am I saying this? Because of a renewed hope. CCP is once again opening its doors to contribution to ANI 37. CCP's Literary Arts Division is accepting poetry, short fiction and essays in Filipino, English and other Philippine languages (with translation in Filipino or English) tackling this year's topic
"What is the character, personality or culture of the Filipino that needs to be cleansed or renewed for social transformation and growth?"
