Loosely based on the author's personal life, this collection was dug up, dusted and gathered from the remains of the author's heart taking you on a journey from heartbreak to healing to heartbreak to letting go.Mga Salmong Tugon: Nang Ibinulong Ko Sa Buwan Ang Aking Pag-ibig by Rhea Jimenez is a poetic exploration of love in its most raw and honest forms. Through a collection of modern-day "psalms and responses," Jimenez traces a complex and deeply personal journey. The book navigates the echoes of a past relationship with a man before tenderly exploring the stirrings of a new attraction with a woman in the "Hi Darling" series.
The heart of this anthology, however, resides in "Dulo't Simula" (End and Beginning), where Jimenez chronicles the liberating experience of falling in love openly with a woman for the first time. The poems become a beautiful, often painful, dialogue, laying bare the vulnerability and fierce hope of queer love. Dedicated to "everyone who has ever whispered to the moon", this book is an intimate and relatable read for anyone who has found their own truth in the unexpected spaces between friendship and romance. It is a powerful testament to the courage of a heart that chooses freedom and love, even when the path is uncertain.
