Sa Aking Pagkadestiyero / In My Exile Mga Tula / Poems (The Philippine Writers Series 2021)
In stock
Ikaapat na koleksiyon ko ito ng mga tula, at naiiba sa unang tatlong koleksiyon dahil, una, nasulat ito habang nasa ibang bayan, kung saan tumutulay sa alambre—sinisikap maibsan ang pangungulila habang nakikisangkot. Ikalawa, iwinawaksi ang dating estratehiya ng paggamit sa tula ng pag-ibig bilang pangubli sa radikal na paniniwala. Ikatlo, kinikilala ang kontradiksiyon sa pagitan ng feministang teorya at pagiging maybahay, at ng paglahok sa pakikibaka kahit inihihiwalay ng lunan. Sa huli, iginigiit ng koleksiyon na ang “pagkadestiyero” ay hindi pagkakatiwalag, bagkus hamon sa migrante na patuloy na lumaban para sa katarungan at tunay na kalayaan ng bayan. This is my fourth poetry collection. Unlike my three earlier collections, the poems were written, first, in the site of migration, while tightrope walking—balancing isolation and despair with efforts to connect with the homeland. Second, by discarding old strategies of using love poems to conceal radical beliefs. Third, by recognizing contradictions—feminist theory and the realities of being a homemaker, joining the struggle in spite of distance. Finally, the collection asserts that “exile” does not dictate separation; instead, it challenges the migrant to constantly be involved in the fight for justice and genuine sovereignty.
