Summary: While this volume is mainly a study of contrast, it is also a cultural portrait of the Filipino artist who is split one way or the other between two languages, two generations, two orientations Asian and Western, two milieus of rural and industrial demarcations. The two poets are both natives of Davao. Their literacy fare is basically the same, being both avid consumers of novels and collected works by the two Huxleys, Forester, Hemingway, the economic philosophers, Hoffer, Fromm, the French novelists, the Russian writers, Leonard Cohen, Dylan Thomas and contemporary masters of fiction and poetry. They listen to and enjoy the same kind of music, and are preoccupied with movies and social movements. --Back cover of the book
