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.
