New from the Talking Indonesia podcast
This year Indonesia was a featured country at the London Book Fair, which followed a similar showcasing of its literature at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2015. Is this a reflection of an expanding and globalising literary scene in Indonesia? Are more diverse voices being heard inside and outside the country, and what are the challenges for making sure that the stories are not lost in translation? Listen at the Talking Indonesia podcast from the University of Melbourne.

Poetry is…
Ink that pools, like an ocean of love
Where we sail as we dive
Exploring the ocean of love
Poetry is…
Not just merely… words!
That can be muzzled by those in power
With words, or weapons!
Because
Poetry is…
Light

Oleh Langston Hughes
Aku, juga, menyanyikan Amerika.
Aku saudaranya yang lebih gelap.
Aku disuruh mereka makan di dapur
Ketika tamu datang menjenguk.
Tetapi aku tertawa,
Dan makan dengan lahap,
Dan tumbuh semakin kuat.
Besok,
Aku akan makan di meja
Ketika tamu datang menjenguk.
Maka
Tak akan ada yang berani
Bilang kepadaku
“Makan di dapur.”
Tambah lagi,
Mereka akan melihat betapa tampannya aku
Dan merasa malu –
Aku, juga, Amerika.
