*Tula ng Tiyanak (The poetry of a baby goblin) refers to a tiyanak with various origin stories from what is now known as the Philippines. This graphic design and tiyanak illustration was created by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vikdt_/" target="_blank">Viktor</a>. The sun may set earlier, but you don’t have to feel alone! Join your fellow Pinxy/Pinay/Pinoy for community poetry set to thrill and bring chills down your spine.  Huwag kang magpahuli (don’t delay) — perk your ears up, grab your garlic and salt, and moisten your throat to scream in delight for the Tula ng Tiyanak. No prior poetry reading experience needed. Allies are welcome to attend.  Register to attend now! Limited space.  ✊Solidarity: As artists, we are in solidarity with our fellow citizens fighting against state violence in the Philippines, namely the Mendiola 277 protesters who were arrested and detained illegally after the September 21 "Baha sa Luneta" rally against the corruption in the Philippine government. Please consider making a donation (suggested $15) though noone will be turned away for lack of funds. All funds collected will be donated to KARAPATAN, an organization directly supporting arrestees on the ground with their legal fees to navigate this unjust situation. 🕷️Poetry content: Poetry can be in any language. Poetry can be about the season  (Halloween, All Souls Day, Autumn etc) covering ghostly encounters, mysterious happenings, and mythical or creepy creatures. Or, your poetry can also cover grief, community, healing, your personal journey. Poetry can be serious, comedic, or anything else. We will ask poets to provide content warning, and we will take care of each other onsite. 🥚Free food and drinks: We’ll have food and drinks available! Please share your dietary considerations with us by registering for the event. Please bring your own water bottle. 🕯️Sign up to read your poetry:This space will spotlight Pinxy, Pinay, and Pinoy poets. Allies are welcome to attend. Pinxy is a term referring to non-binary and gender non-conforming people who are from or have roots from the Philippines, while Pinoy and Pinay are localized gendered terms referring to those who are from or have roots from the Philippines.
