I realized that poetry can accomplish many things that historical documents cannot. First, poetry stores emotions that will be able to shape the reader’s awareness and attitude. If most historical documents are often identified with chronicles, characters, or events, then poetry is able to build the same emotions even if the reader has no previous experience. This emotional attachment is expected to enhance the reader’s collective awareness of the wounds present in Indonesian history.

The poem in this book that you hold consists of seven parts. Each section represents the testimonies of the victims of dark historical events in specific periodizations and regions.
