The terms, workshop and Asian-American, are very limiting in both the concept and the organizational scope, which ultimately affect the fundraising and membership strategies. Is the association intended only to a small number of creative writers or for every creative Asians to join in? Is it only existing to provide seminars or to provide an avenue to muster Asian voices to be heard by the international literary body. See, I am not a naturalized citizen yet, but I, too, would like to be a member of an Asian literary association. The problem is which one. I still am not an Asian American yet; I cannot join AAWW as the name implies. Nevertheless, I am a researcher and a creative writer. My POD book, KOILAWAN: Letters and Poems of a Jungle Dad-Mom is distributed worldwide now. It was in the Top 100 Bestsellers in Inspirational Books on Amazon.com. My next book: Poems on the EXPERIMENTAL DASANG (Hey Poem) and 45 OTHER POETRY FORMS will be in the market soon. Currently, am busy writing a co-authored book, BEDTIME PASTIME:Kalanganan du hu Ikam (Collections of Short Stories and Bukidnon Folktales).
