By Rendra (author), Harry Aveling et al (translator)

Rendra, one of Indonesia’s most important poets and dramatists, was raised within a mystical Javanese milieu. He saw the individual, nature, and society as potentially forming one harmonious whole. This commitment to personal authenticity and social justice was expressed in his poetry and plays. This collection, which collects many of his best poems, is his testimony to the sacredness of life in all its beauty.
