"In the hands of a national Artist whose contributions to the art of dance cannot ever be doubted," says Isagani Cruz in his Foreword to the book, "reviewing may even rise to the level of national art. This is what happens in the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of reviews, all written in a hurry; of National Arist Leonor Orosa Goquinco, published in various dailies... over the last forty-three years. The best and most representative of these reviews are collected in this outstanding volume, which is sure to stimulate and to provoke memory, discussion, appreciation, and evaluation of the country's output in at least three major types of performing arts--- theater, music, dance. Add to those, of course, other types of art, such as drama, poetry, film, and yes, art history."
