Kapulongan: Conversations with Cebuano Writers

Kapulongan cover

Poetry and Fiction professor, Dr. Hope Sabanpan-Yu, has combined her vision of documenting the exciting conversations with Cebuano poets and fictionists with the enthusiasm of her students to create Kapulongan: Conversations with Cebuano Writers.

Published by the USC Cebuano Studies Center with assistance from Sunflower Press, the book and accompanying DVD will be a valuable resource for students, teachers and readers. The book features varied writers such as Erlinda K. Alburo, Ma. Victoria Beltran, Josua Cabrera, Lamberto Ceballos, Gremer Chan Reyes, Carlos Cortes, Erma Cuizon, Fr. Rudy Villanueva, Myke Obenieta, Gerard Pareja, Simeon Dumdum Jr., Marlinda Angbetic-Tan and Lawrence Ypil. The writers and students discuss the wide range of Cebuano language and literature. The conversations are followed by a sample of the writer’s work.

The book will be launched at the USC Buttenbruch Hall on June 21, 2008 at 9:30-11:00 am.
