It is poetry’s unique facility at representing and embodying social tensions that has given this genre its power and widely appreciated status in contemporary Indonesian society. The Lontar Anthology of Indonesian Poetry is a landmark publication, the first comprehensive attempt to translate the many and varied ways Indonesian poets have continued to represent and interrogate such tensions in their multiple and evolving forms.
Containing translations of more than 300 poems by more than 150 authors, The Lontar Anthology of Indonesian Poetry provides a portrait of twentieth century Indonesia as seen through the lens of its poetry. Compiled and edited by a respected international team of editors, LAIP is a must-have book for all scholars of Indonesia, poetry enthusiasts, and libraries around the world.
