33 Days of Passacaglia speaks for a real experience and a real life journey. It’s honest, unfiltered, and wholly personal. All of us have lost something in life, and though we might be worlds apart, we’d agree that hope will always keep us going through another day. The book is like a dear friend that share similar stories with you, that will hug you in the shoulders and reassure you, “I’ve hurt too, but don’t worry, we’ll get through this together.”

-Zita Reyninta Sari

33 Days of Passacaglia is a collection of 33 poems, separately narrating different memories about not only doubts, anxiety, and fear, but also hope, faith, and bravery. The word “passacaglia”, with its Italian and Spanish origins, culturally refers to a dance performed in the streets. This book invites readers from all walks of life to keep on living in gratitude, regardless of any sorrow haunting and their desperate efforts of happiness-hunting.
