In due respect for the writers, I think it is not appropriate to discuss or even mention the titles of the poems which were considered “unacceptable” for publishing in this page.

Janette > I leave it to you to decide how you want to tell us. ~ Henry
April 30th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Yes, i totally agree to what deegey say: But Henry i think we are not creating a problem here but solving it so do you want me to tell you in public which poems i’m referring to?
April 30th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Janette > If you are indeed referring to the poems in the first anthology as some being “garbage”, I sincerely hope that’s not what you meant. But if that’s what you wanted to tell us, please identify at least the titles of the poems which you refer to as “garbage” in the use of words. ~ Henry
April 30th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Maybe we can modify the word “garbage” pertaining to some of the featured poems from the archives as mere- “not acceptable” - to be included to the 2nd issue of the Emanila poetry book because they don’t meet the criteria/guidelines that the Manila Team have set for the benefit of both the poet/writer and the reader.
Thanks.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:56 am
To Henry, Oh yes we know that what we are talking here is the Book . what to be included which poems. I hope also the team emanila has best judgement regarding this matter…. thank you…….

To Janette > Thanks for the feedback.
To Everyone > Please note that we do not moderate or edit your posts. Although from time to time we issue guides on how to use this site, we leave to your better judgment on what to post.
Maraming salamat.

can we have a cut -off , all those in the 1st book should not be included in the second. book.. i’m not in favor all poems in the archives should be included.. i notice that some poems . sorry to say , some are garbage in choosing the word they use . we are free country but for me we should include what is the best poems for the 2nd book .Once again i suggest to choose one or two poems from each writers to be included in the second book ..Please choose the best from each one. so that everybody have a chance to be included , at para sulit ang pagbili sa book… ,,

Regarding the 2nd issue of emanilapoetry book. I agree with the idea of Tata Raul Funilas. And I am hoping that those poems that were featured will be included to the anthology. “To Tata Raul, two-thumbs up for your performance” to the “Barako” indie film.Twas written and directed by Manolito Sulit- one of our panelist. I watched it when I participated the 9th UST CCWS at Nagcarlan, Laguna last week.

To Carolina and everyone > We finally found a script that will rotate in our homepage what to us are featured posts. Please note that our initial review of featured posts has not yet been completed; after the initial review, we will continue to select new posts to be featured. Mabuhay!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Natawa ko sa mensahe ni ka Fermin, hehe. Honga, para masaya.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:57 pm
pabor ako sa paglilimbag ng “sequel” sa SA KAbila ng Ritmo!
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:05 am
bakit hindi? dami na ring mga bagong writers dito.
lumalago na tayo.
April 18th, 2008 at 7:36 am
ang naipablis pa lang ay ang “kabila” ng ritmo. dapat maipablis na rin ang “harapan” ng ritmo.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Parang bitin yung Sa Kabila ng Ritmo, parang dapat na may kapatid na kasunod, kumbaga’y isang tula na hindi matapos-tapos dahil nasa himpapawid pa ang persona at nang-aaliw ng mga mambabasa…hehe.
April 16th, 2008 at 9:33 am
it’s nice to hear that we have 2nd issue. i hope some writers have a chance to be included in this issue.
Suggest that you form a group or panel to review the featured poem (archives) to determine which poem will be included on the 2nd issue. or choose at least one or two poem to each writers so that everybody have chance to be included.
April 16th, 2008 at 7:14 am
Sa lahat > Inaasahan na marami ang ating tatanggaping mungkahi. Kailangan natin itong pagtulung-tulungan. Ito ay hindi lamang para sa emanila kundi para sa lahat ~ lalo na sa mga kasama natin dito sa Writers Group.
April 16th, 2008 at 2:49 am
Just a thought….. how about another collection, another title altogether for the second book? Huwag po sana kayong magagalit….mungkahi lamang po.Salamat/Carolina
April 15th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
A second issue would be great..i’ll be the first one to grab a copy..:)
April 15th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Maganda yang project na second issue ng sa kabila ng ritmo. Sana lang maraming new writers sa literary scene ang mapasama..
April 15th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Ok lang, machakaw.
Ang emanila ay hindi lamang “Exponent of today’s Filipino poetry” kundi “exponent” din ito ng ibang dayalek at langwedyes na ginagamit ng ating mga kababayan.
April 15th, 2008 at 7:23 am
datapwat subalik ngunit bakit, alalaunbagay eh kung pede lang po?pede po ba mag comment sa tagalog? ask lang po .. salamat ng marami
April 15th, 2008 at 12:41 am
Agree!!! An anthology of featured poems (from the archives) is a good sequel to the first issue of Sa Kabila Ng Ritmo…
on other matters:
-Use of pen names is alright, we have their real names on file, anyway (?).
-on incentives…while it’s easy to monitor who actively participates in the promotions, It’s quite hard to determine if such effort yields some sales. Promotion is something, conversion to sales is another.
-On NBS - well, you guys are the best persons to know how did NBS rate as a distributor… if they handled it well naman, why change? perhaps offer to specialty bookstores as well?
Best Regards,
Rose

“Follow through anthology” sounds good! Do you have some form of criteria as to whose works shld be
included?Maybe agood start is to choose from the “Featured Poems” (Archives).On this note how come
this hasn’t been done for a while now,nothing really worth”featuring”?Just wondering! Thanks/Carolina
April 14th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Thanks for asking, Carolina.
Sometime last year, we thought of coming up with a follow through anthology. We would like to revive that project. We are open to suggestions on how we can best carry out that book project. Offhand, here are some questions:
(a) Whose postings should be included in that anthology?
(b) Because some of the posters are using “pen names”, should we also include their works using their “pen names” or “nicknames”?
(c) How will the book be distributed? Should we have it distributed through our present distributors, National BookStores?
(d) What form of incentive should we give to those who will actively promote the book?
emanilapoetry is a community ~ your community. Let’s hear from everyone. You may also email us directly for feedback and response.
April 13th, 2008 at 5:59 am
Is there a chance of another anthology publication for the sake of those whose postings weren’t included
in the “Sa Kabila ng Ritmo”?Many thanks/Carolina

To R Tanglao: We are using a tagging system that “rewards” more points to active commenters. The more comments they post, the larger their names appear. This is a standard weblog commenting plugin. Thanks for asking.

To Janette:
The pictures shown on the Members Profile page are thumbshots of photos of members of our Writers Group. Some of them have their poems published in our anthology, Sa Kabila ng Ritmo. Want to meet some of them? You may visit our Photogallery at www.emanila.com/gallery selecting “book launch…” album.
We are considering installing a user-photo application that will allow the writers to post their photo too with their postings to make the posts more personalised.
Darating din tayo doon. Sa ngayon, wala munang pangalan iyong mga pictures.
Maraming salamat.
April 9th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
In member profile…yong mga pictures ba naka posts ay mga
staff ng team emanila. or just a writers like me?…..sana me name
we are happy to know them.
April 9th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Why are the names of others larger and in bold? Just curious. That’s all.
