Poems.
Includes bibliographical references.
Mga Kanta ni Datu Lubay is many voices spoken from one heart. It is a heart nurtured with legends of mountains and seas, strained by pain, hunger, injustice, yet thumping with hope, courage, and pride. It seems that since the very beginning of his life as a poet, Delos Santos, like Dau Lubay, has been deterritorialized, and this collection is the artifact of the pain and beauty of his poems written in exile -- both geographical and emotional. Datu Lubay is not only weaving the songs of physical displacement but also of romantic exile. His songs are at the heights of their poetic power when he sings about the glowing embers of love in the hearth of his heart. Listen to the song-poems in this collection with the ears of your heart and soul, and be at home in that beautiful and pure and invisible garden of our being human. It is in this Garden where you are free to sing the songs of your heart of hearts, where you can sing without fear and shame because this Garden is your true Home, your own territory. --Back cover of the book.
