About

Update. 9 March 2012.

What started out as a ramble has become a bridge, though small. I can hear footsteps in the distance, slowly coming closer. New readers, possible friends. Crossing a bridge made of words. It is a good feeling, being read.

Thank you to all those who visit once or many times over.

My most recent poetry books, published simultaneously in 2011 by the University of Santo Tomas Publishing House, are another home for my words.

Baha-bahagdang Karupukan and Alien to Any Skin are available in the Philippines in most National Book Stores and a few other independent distributors such as Filipinas Heritage and Solidaridad Bookshop. Online orders may be placed with Mary Martin Booksellers and Kabayan Central.

I started this blog with a strange ramble about chickens.   I urge you to read it first.

I currently live somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere of Planet Earth. I am prone to wandering.

Sufjan Simone is one of my pen names.  You can email me at kalayaan7 at gmail.com

    “Sufjan Simone is one of my pen names.” — Why in the world would you name a pen? ;)

    • matangmanok

      A pen by any other name will still run out. Or dry. Or get lost. Or stolen. Or… oh shut up! :D Hi Michael! It’s been ages!
