The second part consists of four essays on how to read a poem from a standpoint that regards the poem as "the shaping in language of a human experience"; it includes an anthology of early Filipino poems in English. The third part is focused on writing the poem, and consists of ten essays on meter, traditional lyric forms, free verse, imagery, metaphor, and the labor of revision; it includes poetic exercises and two anthologies: one of short poems in English by Filipino poets, and another of contemporary Filipino poetry in English. The fourth part, consisting of two essays and "36 Questions About Poetry", looks toward "a poetics of writing the lyric poem".
