Gamal: A Collection of Pangasinan Short Stories

Dr. Linda R. Andaya released her first Pangasinan book entitled Gamal tan arum ni'ran antikey ya istorya. A collection of Pangasinan short stories. It's because of this book that I came out with the following sonnet:

sonito 216

(ed libron Gamal tan arum ni'ran antikey ya istorya nen Dr. Linda R. Andaya)

aliling to'y tanol na tambuyog
ono hambayo'd gilig na dayat
lalagyaten to'y kailalakan
ed akualan na dilin salita

sarayan antikey ya istorya
so manliliing ed saray musia
pian ombulaslas so panulatan
dia ed Parnasu na Caboloan

egpang irayan pakarukdukan
na panangaro tan pangoliran
tongtong irayan binmabalitok
ed litiraturan Pangasinan

parlasan mo'y matam kaluyagan
isasalming tonia so kulturam
