3.0
Experimental 'urban' poetry. De Veyra's intoxicated verses are not to be shocked of, but their social realism is a curious anti thesis to his otherwise 'liberal' lyricism. There certainly are dull moments in the collection, but their boringness can be compared to the annoying boredom listeners feel for "Revolution 9" in The Beatles' White Album. An interesting read amidst the alienated, slap-worthy emo poetry which dominates contemporary Philippine literature in English today.
