Asian Addicts Anonymous

I am a literary junkie, so I like posting stuff like this from time to time. 😛

While working from home, I got a request to add this online magazine. Online literary magazine High Chair is a magazine devoted to promoting poetry in the Philippines.

The editor/s of the journal solicit work directly from poets, and also welcome unsolicitied [sic] poetry and prose submissions. Although the articles that chiefly interest us are fair and perceptive reviews of poetry books (whether in or out of print), personal essays of communal interest, and extended appreciations or reappraisals of Filipino work, we impose no limitations on the forms of thoughtful, polished, poetry-related prose we would be very happy to upload.

The magazine was started online back in 2002 and has slowly been increasing the amount of content they publish. With the boom of Japanese, Thai and Chinese literature in translation that is hitting the U.S., it is nice to see some other Asian countries being represented as well and I am particularly interested in the Philippines as I have family that hail from there.

And speaking of Filipino literature, California has an honest-to-goodness Filipino bookstore! I am seriously thinking about ordering the Filipino cookbook. Love pancit, adobo, and lumpia! Though I am not a fan of seafood at all.
