This Adobo Life: A Poetic Autobiography - Paperback
Description
by Noel Aquino (Author)
In this collection, Noel Aquino shares his immigrant story from the Philippines to the US, navigating the process of growing up, romance, identity, and culture. Through a blend of poetry, short stories, journal entries, and illustrations, he takes readers on a five-part journey-from Paglisan (Departure) to Pag-unlad (Development)-following the phases of leaving home, growing into adulthood, confronting heartaches, embracing identity, and finding peace.
Presented in both Filipino and English, these bilingual poems aim to show the bridge between culture and language, his moments of growth and transformation. Paired with personal insights, this collection invites readers into the heart of his experiences as he learns to balance conflicting cultural identities and find belonging.
From the uncertainty of leaving home to the power of self-acceptance, This Adobo Life is a moving story of heartache, growth, and the journey to understanding oneself.
