Two young femal poets, from Bali and Jakarta. Writing poetry in Indonesia is almost a political act nowadays. Rieke Diah Pitaloka wrote a poem on the bomb-attack in Bali. Oka Rusmini lives on this island. A strong political engagement speaks from her work. A discussion on their poetry and their ideas on the future of Indonesia.
