Paintings, poems and nunchucks

Last September 13 we attended a poetry-reading and art exhibit at the behest of our friend, Seliz. It was organized by Odd Proyekto, and the poetry-reading and exhibit was in celebration of the release of Volume II of Odd Proyekto, a limited ciculation portfolio of visual and literary creations.

The volume features different young and seasoned contributors from Iligan City as well as from all over the country.

It turned out that the poetry-reading was more casual than we expected. The contributors present were very unassuming to the point of refusing to read their poems because they felt shy. When they ran out of readers they asked us to read. We stood up and read Cityscape by Simon Anton Nino Diego. We think we mispronounced at least two words. Ha ha. 



Our friend, the psychedelic Seliz especially liked Luis Batchoy's Extra Super Special Batchoy with Egg. We think we know why.




Because it's supposed to be Odd, the event ended in a nunchucks exhibition by one of the contributors. 

Congratulations to the organizers. We need more people like you to further strengthen our artistic and literary force especially now when there are only a few of the profound and cultured left and everyone else has nothing in mind but Gangnam Style. 

To those who want to grab a copy of Odd Proyekto Volume II just contact them through their Facebook page. It's here.
