Children's & YA2019The Poet and the Smell
by Lote Vilma Vītiņa
One fine day a poem sneaks into the little Poet’s nose! No, it’s a cloud! Or perhaps it’s rain? In any case, at this moment the Poet discovers the bountiful and multidimensional world of smells, which inspires him to write poetry and share his discoveries with others. Lote Vilma Vītiņa’s book encourages children (and adults) to pay more attention to the smells, odors and aromas which are all around us – in the pantry, on the bus, on the street and in the park. Can you imagine the smells of a sea breeze, a barn, picking berries off a blackcurrant bush, or really screwing up? There is also a special surprise hidden in the book for little readers’ noses, which can not only be smelled in their imaginations, but also in real life!

Individual film directors, film-makersNovember 2017Pro Bernal Anti Bio
by Ishmael Bernal, Jorge Arago, Angela Stuart-Santiago
Four years before his death in 1996, National Artist for Film Ishmael Bernal started writing a journal for what he envisioned is a unique biography that would tell all. The goal was an anti-biography that refused to be hagiography or tribute, and instead would be Bernal unexpurgated and uncensored. His biographer was his closest friend and constant collaborator, Jorge Arago, who worked on Pro Bernal Anti Bio until his death in 2011. He then passed the task of completing the book to his friend, Angela Stuart-Santiago. Working towards the goal of a tell-all, and with new research and additional interviews, the final product is a memoir unlike any other in the Philippines. Pro Bernal Anti Bio brings in a cast of actors, scholars, colleagues, and peers who speak from the margins of the book, while Bernal and Arago tell this personal-political history in their own words, sometimes gay, often irreverent, but always revealing an intellect and spirit that was ahead of its time.

December 2020Why I can't like him/her?
by Anna Claudia Ramos, Antônio Schimeneck
Adolescence is a time of many doubts, anxieties and uncertainties. In this phase, sexuality is unfolding, and we are going through — because everyone has gone, is going or will go through — self-questions about all conditions, all desires, including regarding sexuality. If on the one hand, we see in beautiful social networks beautiful movements of self-acceptance and discovery, on the other hand we live in a time of great obscurantism and attempt to cage the desires and contain the experiences of young people – whether at home or at school, and unfortunately, many times, with public authority initiative. This book asks this of young people, who often find themselves trapped by a cultural need (or family pressure) to create heteronormative bonds, when, in fact, they feel the desire for people of the same sex. But this book also understands that it is necessary to take this issue to the world, so that everyone reflects on otherness, sexuality and, mainly, the many possibilities of affection and desire. Por que não consigo gostar dele/dela? is a book with two sides, two covers, four stories and many testimonials.
