The long lost startle /
Toledo, Joel M.
The long lost startle / Joel M. Toledo. - Quezon City : The University of the Philippines Press, c2009. - xvi, 77 p. 23 cm.
There is generosity and wisdom in these poems, a sense of wonder that elevates the most ordinary of things and bestows upon them a special place in the world. Informed by both intelligence and compassion, Joel M. Toledo's The Long Lost Startle, I believe, will be considered a major work in Philippine poetry; while the angel of his history sees the future by turning his back on the wreckage of the world, Toledo fixes his gaze with attention and astonishment, and in the process heralds a future with some of the most memorable poems our country has ever produced.---Eric Gamalinda (Source: Back Cover)
