Spiritual Quest in Verse: A Literary Criticism of Ricaredo Demetillo's Religious Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734725681)

This book delves into the religious character, substance and symbolisms in Ricaredo Demetillo's poetry. As a religious poet, Demetillo--one of the Philippines' most gifted poets--undertakes a spiritual journey, which is actually a flight from wrong values, hypocritical religion, crumbling civilization, and moral corruption. For Demetillo, God is the God of the living, not of the dead. Heaven and hell are within man himself; through self-knowledge, man regains his lost paradise. Love alone heals and forgives.
