A REVIEW ON: MGA CHISMIS SA PUNERARYA

π

Ito ang unang basa ko kay NYX and naga-sige ako ngisi kahit parang dapat siguro malungkot ako kasi tungkol sa patay ito pero siguro dahil gi-reveal niya in artistic way ang realidad ng kamatayan. Kanamit gid bitaw maminaw sa mga chismis sa punerarya o sa haya kay didto mo malaman tanan, mga kwento sa kamaayo ug maskin mga libak sa iyang kadautan.

May isa akong take away sa zine na ito: hindi ako special pero ako na gid ni.

Para sa akon, gin-last mo sana ang banner piece mo kay bagay kaayo siya pag ending kay parang ma-summarize mo lahat doon tho okay lang man na nauna—OA lang talaga ako kahit hindi ako special.

A REVIEW ON: LIBON MATAHOM

π

A collection of amazing pieces telling stories about women and indeed, how are they so beautiful "matahom." Congratulations to the writers.

Comments:
Walang Cebuano na piyesa kung hindi ikonsidera ang isa (na sa tingin ko ang hinugot sa Binisaya Language) to think na may Cebuano word sa title ng collection.

Maybe we can think of deeper or more poetic titles for these pieces. A collection or anthology doesn't end on collecting pieces then printing them right away. Let's check titles, we can suggest or talk about possible other titles na fit sa piyesa. Not saying na it's not good but still, it's a publication—it doesn't settle on "okay na." I'm talking about redundant and cliche titles.

Lastly, make pieces more inclusive—have translation. This is also a reflection for me, we tell stories of our own community for others to grasp or accept but how can they absorb something they can't understand. Kaya hindi natuloy ang ilan sa mga zines namin last Nov. 2024.

Again, every piece is commendable. Deserve n'yo ng around of applause for not holding back this project. Salamat sa pagpapalaya.
