What Durado more significantly brings in is not only a change in language, or a change in image, but an introduction of a whole new uncharted (at least by poetry) sensibility.

A great book of poetry, apart from being a beautiful thing in itself, gives readers an insight into the poet’s passions. Without meaning to, it tends to be autobiographical. Adonis exposes himself to his readers and gives evidence that while he is walking on our planet, he is also flying in the universe of ideas. (Cebu Gold Star Daily)
