micro mini review of my book in the UP Likhaan Journal

Delgado, Daryll. After the Body Displaces Water. Manila: UST Publishing
House. Daryll Delgado’s first book of fiction contains eleven stories that showcase the
author’s versatility in using the forms and techniques of fiction. The subject matter
of the stories are just as varied, but are unified by the strength of the Delgado’s taut
and precise writing.

Rebuilding libraries, rebuilding communities

I recently took part in NBDB's Booklatan sa Bayan in Tacloban and in Palo, Leyte. Talked to kids about writing and stories, and ran a mini-workshop. The kids were heartbreakingly bright and adorable. Some of them wrote very powerful stories too.
