This chapter provides a brief overview of the course of Filipino poetry in English from 1905 to the present. It discusses three transformative phases or dominant strains: an inveterate Romantic spirit, from the first published literary attempts in 1905 to the 1940s; then, an enduring formalist or “New Critical” commitment, from the 1950s to the 1970s; and finally, a kind of open clearing, a poststructuralist or postmodernist temper, from the 1980s to the present.

Keywords:   Filipino poetry, poetry, transformative phases, Romantic spirit, New Critical commitment
