Ang aklat na ito ang ikaapat na koleksiyon ng mga tula ni Rio Alma ula sa panahon ng COVID-19. Una, ang ]Kuwarentena[ (Filipinas Institute of Translation, 2020) na mga reaksiyon sa pinsalang dulot ng pandemya. Ikalawa, ang Mga Póon, Mga Piyón, Mga Pusóng, Isang Púsong (San Anselmo Press, 2022) na isang satirikong pagtatanghal sa mga sakit ng lipunan at korupsiyon sa lahat ng sektor ng sosyedad. Ikatlo, ang Lemlunay (National Commission for Culture and the Arts, 2023) na isang pagsusuri sa kasaysayan at kultura sa pamamagitan ng mga sinaunang artifact, cultural objects, at likhang sining ng Filipinas. Ang ikaapat na aklat ngayon, ang Ay! Ang Kabihasnan, ay isang masugid na komentaryo sa umiiral na uri ng kamaláyan na lubhang nakapailalim sa kapangyarihan ng kolonyal, Kristiyanisado, at Amerikanisadong sibilisasyon na itinanim ng mga kolonyalistang Kanluranin sa loob ng apat na siglo. Hindi naman nilalahat ni Rio Alma ang masamâng epekto ng sibilisasyong Kanluranin. Ngunit maraming katutubòng nagisnan at banyagang nakamihasnan ang dapat diumanong iwaksi upang higit na umunlad ang ísip ng mga Filipino, makaahon sa kamangmangan ang mga dukha, at kahit ang mga edukado, at higit na umiral ang demokrasya at katarungan sa ating bansa. Makikinis pa rin at matatalinghaga ang tula ng ating Pambansang Alagad ng Sining, ngunit higit ngayong nakatuon sa pagtukoy ng mga hadlang sa kalayàan at kaunlaran ng sambayanan. Inihahandog ni Rio Alma ang pagtula niya kaugnay ng kaniyang “Tinging Filipino” sa pagsuri ng kultura at kasaysayang pambansa at sa kampanya ngayon ng mga makata na “Ibalik ang Tula sa Pusò ng Madla.”

FAQs
Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.
For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.
Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
