Love Gathers All: The Philippines-Singapore Anthology of Love Poetry

by Ramon C. Sunico (Editor), Alfred A. Yuson (Editor), Aaron Lee (Editor)

LOVE in its many forms has historically been the touchstone of great poetry, from Li Bai to Rumi, Shakespeare to Neruda.

As a first-ever joint literary venture between the Philippines and Singapore, Love Gathers All breaks new ground. In this cross-cultural project, 127 love poems by 93 poets in both countries are published side by side in one volume, together with a selection of beautiful illustrations that invoke and celebrate the tribulations and ecstasies of love.

This unique publication serves as a firm foundation for the cultural bridge that is being built between two close ASEAN neighbours, and hopefully, it will inspire more literary and cultural co-operations within the region in the near future.
