MODULE 4: PHILIPPINE LITERARY LANDSCAPE Flashcards
In the early 1900s, Filipino poetry celebrated romanticism, and several poems about love flourished.
Eventually, as the years went on, poetry became more formalist; more on the form and language that the poet used, rather than the theme itself
Then, modern poetry sprouted, and nowadays, writers are more adventurous in their craft.
