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.
