By Subagio Sastrowardoyo (author), John McGlynn (translator)
Short Description:
| Subagio Sastrowardoyo (1 February 1924–18 July 1995) was a poet, short story writer, essayist, and literary critic. During his writing career of more than 45 years, Subagio published a wide range of work but it was his poetry and his essays on poetry that have most served to enrich and expand discourse on modern Indonesian poetry. It was he who first introduced, and then consistently produced, poetry embedded with intellectualism. It might even be argued that the current trend in intellectualdiscursive poetry can be traced to the poet’s pioneer work in the mid1950s.
Critical recognition of his work first came in 1955 from the literary journal Kisah for his short story “Kejantanan di Sumbing” which was followed in 1967 by an award from Horison magazine for his poem “Dan Kematian Makin Akrab.” In 1970 the Indonesian government bestowed on him the Anugerah Seni award and, in 1991, he was named a recipient of the SEA Write Award by the Thai king. Posthumously, the Indonesian government awarded him the Satyalancana Kebudayaan medal for his significant contribution to Indonesian culture. |
