PAGASA
Prompted by Roland Barthes’ The Preparation of a Novel, this presentation outlines how in the course of pursuing the creative life as a poet, a translator, an independent filmmaker and as a small press publisher from one of the regions of the Philippines, I now cast myself to another kind of vita nova, by wanting-to-write this tetralogy, which I have happily conceived during my STIAS residency.
