The Cave and other poems / Cirilo F. Bautista - 70 pages ; 24 cm.
The first poems that Cirilo F. Bautista sent to the Free Press fascinated by being so dense, so complex, and yet so supple. These first two poems were "Lascaux" and "Interior of an Angel." Reread, they seem to be not only his best single performances but the best prefatory statements to a body of work already impressive for its bulk. The references--and their juxtapositions--are new in Philippine poetry: cock, cave paintings, Buddha, Silone, black horses, bulls. These poems also announce a new manner in Philippine verse: the long line, a more heroic music that departs from the conversational tone so stylish among our young poets, and shy muted rhymes. --From the introduction
