Reading Ricky de Ungria’s works is rewarding aesthetically
 and intellectually.  He proved himself to be one of the leading
contemporary  Filipino poets. An examination of de Ungria’s
works clarifies that he does not base all his poems on
experience alone, but on the events his observant and genius
eyes can see. His mastery to handle subject as subtle
as love marks the giant leap of Philippine poetry. I believe, he
is the one who started his theme in the country. A decent mind
especially the conservatives do not care to open the pages of his
book, Nudes. Sometimes, reading some of his poems does not
prove to be fruitful and enjoyable. His usage of
different figurative languages is too confusing, although this
serves the purpose of making multiple meaning in poetry.

Waking Ice records a father's spirals of
emotions as he tries to understand and
weather his son's addiction, attempts at
recovery, and inevitable self-destruction. In
a sequence of chiseled poems addressed
mostly to his son, the poet memorializes a
wide range of complex emotions dealing with
fatherhood, son ship, and loss, and uses a
variety of poetic styles to chart the gamut of
his experience. Here is language brought
woundingly close to real life and silence.
