Philippine Love Poetry Since 1905 - UP Jubilee Student Edition
This anthology comprises love poems in English by Filipino poets over practically a hundred years from 1905 to the present. The aim is to give a long view, as it were, of the experience of love in our own time and not so much the concept or abstraction as, from poem to poem, the living, the experience.
