description: Excerpt from the "The collection includes all the poems I have written, shifted from a slew of poetry which first appeared in national publications in the Philippines prior to and during the years immediately after the Second World War, as well as subsequent publications in the long, long years which followed my own maturity as a person and poet....The realities of life and elected priorities dictated, in my case, the slimness of this collection...Somehow, its inclusion in this section reflects an urgency to reiterate the ethnic origin of my being which had begun to manifest itself in these later years of my life, in this new land."
