Details
Striking new work by major Indonesian writer.
In a strongly patriarchal society in which the norms of feminine subordination are sanctified by the strictures of religion, the rage and aggression in these poems is remarkable. Indeed, for many readers, these emotions are extremely exciting and offer a previously unknown potential for liberation.
Dorothea Rosa Herliany was born in Magelang, Central Java. After graduating she worked for several years as a journalist and freelance writer. Beside poetry, she has also written short stories, essays, and art and drama criticism. Her writings have been published by the major magazines and newspapers in Indonesia.
