POETRY

Poetry is an imaginative awareness of

experience expressed through meaning, sound,
and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke
an emotional response. Poetry has been known
to employ meter and rhyme, but this is by no
means necessary. The very nature of poetry as
an authentic and individual mode of expression
makes it nearly impossible to define.

determination of the Duke Florante

AMERICAN COLONIAL PERIOD
 Philippine literary
production during the
American Period in the
Philippines was spurred by
two significant
developments in education
and culture. One is the
introduction of free public
instruction for all children of
school age and two, the
use of English as medium
of instruction in all levels of
education in public schools.
Free public education
made knowledge and
information accessible to a
greater number of
Filipinos. Those who
availed of this education
through college were able
to improve their social
status and joined a good
number of educated
masses who became part
of the countrys middle
class.
The use of English as
medium of instruction
introduced Filipinos to
Anglo-American modes of
thought, culture and life
ways that would be
embedded not only in the
literature produced but also
in the psyche of the
countrys educated class. It
was this educated class
that would be the
wellspring of a vibrant
Philippine literature in
English, as a direct result
of American colonization of
the country, could not
escape being imitative of
American models of writing
especially during its period
of apprenticeship.
