Reseña de Edgar C. Knowlton Jr. en JSTOR:
Knowlton, Edgar C. Books Abroad, vol. 40, no. 2, University of Oklahoma, 1966, pp. 232–33, https://doi.org/10.2307/40120738.
Al principio de esta reseña se indica qué poemas son de cada autor:
"Through Zaragoza's kindness, the poems written by him in  this volume may be identified by number: 4, 6-79 10, 13-15, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 35-38, 41, 47, 54-56, 62-63, 66-74. The remaining forty-six poems are by Emeterio Barcelon, the senior  poet, who is at present Director of the Philippine Royal Spanish Academy.
A stylist might be able to associate the poems with their respective authors without the help  of the identification contained here, but the  two poets share a fondness for religious themes  and for the expression of love for Spain. Filipinisms are used by Barcelon to accentuate the regional flavor of some of the poems; Chabacano, the Creole Spanish dialect of the Philippines, is mentioned in an interesting "Discurso necrologico en verso" ("NecrologicalSpeech in Verse") in memory of Pascual Asanza".
