Bushfire

By Chairil Anwar Translated by John H. McGlynn

Chairil Anwar was 26 years of age when he died in 1949. Often called Indonesia’s “Arthur Rimbaud,” his poems are marked by an intensity and joie de vivre that reflected his own lifestyle. Through his use of everyday language and new syntax in his poetry, he set an example that forever altered the development of the Indonesian language.
