The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) through its Intertextual Division celebrates the 25th anniversary of its literary journal by launching Ani 37, the Cleansing and Renewal issue, on November 29, 2012 at the CCP Promenade at five in the afternoon. Ani 37 contains 122 works of prose and poetry submitted by 66 authors written in English, Filipino and different Philippine languages, representing Aklanon, Bikol, Chabacano, Ilokano, Iluko, Kankanaey, and Pangasinan.  

“The prose and poems in this issue are metaphors of self-awareness and transcendence, and reflections on relationships with the Other, with mortality/immortality, with nation/country, with cultures local and international – and engagements with ideas on history, governance, civilization and consciousness,” wrote editor-in-chief and Intertextual Division chief Herminio S. Beltran, Jr. in the literary journal’s introduction.

The Ani 37 contributors include Conviron Altatis, Mark Angeles, Alma Anonas-Carpio, Billy T. Antonio, G. Mae Aquino, Carlos A. Arejola, Francisco Arias Monteseña, Mark Joseph Z. Arisgado, Abdon M.
