Calling UP Min Student Writers!

Hi, all,

One of the complaints I received from the last Poetry Night was that
the students of UP Mindanao never received the invitation. Of course,
that's strange because I do have UP students on this mailing list; or
I think I do.

I put in the email addresses here based on the emails they used to
submit stories to Dagmay. It could just be that they used throwaway
addresses, in which case I can't do anything about it.

It could be, too, that these emails are so bothersome to read they
automatically get trashed. Nope, can't do anything about that,
either.

But for those of you who actually receive these messages -- and think
they're helpful -- you can help by reminding your UP friends about
this mailing list. Do tell them this is where we send out
announcements for publication and workshop opportunities.
Announcements for poetry nights, too.

Not just UP students, either, but anyone who likes to write and is
looking for a writing community. After all, that's what this group is
supposed to be about.

Thanks.
