The International Book Day is around the corner and Instituto Cervantes is preparing SOMETHING MASSIVE for April 24 with thousands of books and roses, cinema, music, contests, dance...
But before that, if you want to taste A LOT of poetry, come to the Jeepney Poetry Tour this Saturday the 17th. A voyage of verse, this poetry recital will be divided into three parts, in three different locations of Metro Manila, with 9 poets, from 12 noon until 11pm.
A grand celebration of poetry, the event will feature Filipinos Alfred Yuson, Pete Lacaba, Marra Lanot, Ramon Sunico and Joel Toledo.
Renowned Spanish poet José Luis Gómez Toré will be flying from Europe to share his poetry in the three-part recital.
And to make the deal even spicier, Michael Coroza and Vim Nadera will engage in a friendly poetic debate in the tradition of the Balagtasan.

I don't know why the topic reminded me of a research paper I did in high school about poetry (limerick, really) from Bilasyon, where participants play a game and penalty is to recite a poem. Most of the topics were about love, romance, flirting, etc. It's interesting to listen how participants exchange their conversations in this form, like a recitative in operas.
I think that kind of event is very good for mental stimulation...
