We Are Nowhere and It’s Wow

Deskripsi

A Collection of Poems that are, as Mikael puts it, written with all gloves off. Living in Jakarta, people encountered midnight too-personal-too-soon conversations with taxi drivers, known many Djaelani the bakers who see people come and go, and taken part in many mispronunciations of Gong Xi Fa Chai.

Mikael echoes the way we think and feel about roots. In this fast moving world, the notion of home might be too much of a cliché found in everyone’s Instagram captions, but the question of roots is real and one we are constantly confronted with. We are nowhere, the poems tell us, and it is wow.
