The second part consists of four essays on how to read a poem from a standpoint that regards the poem as "the shaping in language of a human experience"; it includes an anthology of early Filipino poems in English. The third part is focused on writing the poem, and consists of ten essays on meter, traditional lyric forms, free verse, imagery, metaphor, and the labor of revision; it includes poetic exercises and two anthologies: one of short poems in English by Filipino poets, and another of contemporary Filipino poetry in English.

I was completely blown away. The prose is exquisite. It’s accessible yet undeniably sophisticated. A true literary gem.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. A brilliant concept executed with flair. Just a few pacing choices I would change. I would highly recommend this to discerning readers.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
