UP Press launches Garcellano’s book of poems. “Everything is flitting and vanishing,” said Prof. Edel Garcellano during the launch of Vanishing History & Other Poems last July 12 at CM Recto Hall. Reading excerpts from the book are Bonifacio Ilagan and Alex Dacanay, who recited “Lifewatch (For Monico Atienza)” and “Zero-Sum” respectively. Former students hosted the event and also read pieces from the book. Prof. Choy Pangilinan introduced Garcellano describing his caliber as one that does not aid the existing order. Pangilinan described Garcellano’s poetry as pessimistic and cynical, but necessary to the struggle and that he can never be categorized among poets who only went with the flow of time.
