Butch Bandillo, our grandfather ;-), heard about the loose writer group (writers on the loose) The Nomads. People own their language. As writers, as artists, it is our job, responsibility to bring back, to give back what is due to them. Poetry reading should not be intimatized, privatized, intimate, private. Language is not a gift, not a privilege given to a few; language is a property of society, of people.
Hi there, I’m Jona! I’m in my early 30s and is currently based in Ha Noi, Vietnam.I primarily write poetry and short stories in Cebuano and lengthy travel essays in English. Blogging has become an outlet to think out loud. I live the life I set for myself. I try to live an unapologetic life. For collaborations, projects, and other things, please email me at backpackingwithabook@gmail.com. Find me somewhere else!
