Dalam Lipatan Kain by Esha Tegar Putra

3.0

3.5! / i really liked all of the poems especially the ones that were in the rumah di atas gelombang and kota dalam retakan tempurung sections because they were thick in local padang references and you felt completely saturated with it, but i feel as if the romance poems were kinda cliche. overall though, i loved that his poems have concepts that always relate back to the sea, it's such an overarching theme that i love.

favorites include: angin dari arah pauh; anakku mata puisi (!!!); berkelakar sendiri, terbenam sendiri; kelam pada jalan, karam di lautan; di pagaruyung; tentang anggun nan tongga; tentang mangkuto; tiga jam telah lewat; selembar daun kesambi; ia melagukan sesuatu yang tak ada; pagi dengan angin meninggi.

Di hamparan samudera inilah
maut belajar mencabut pisau dari punggung cakrawala.
