Spiritual Quest in Verse: A Literary Criticism of Ricaredo Demetillo's Religious Poetry

Viac o knihe

This book delves into the religious character, substance and symbolisms in Ricaredo Demetillo's poetry rather than into its form or structure. As a religious poet, Demetillo - one of the Philippines' most gifted poets - starts with a doubt. After leaving a Protestant seminary in favor of a career in literature, he writes poems that are 'rebellious' in the sense that they reject the kind of god that society and the institutionalized Church have imposed upon men.
