Mantra for Attacking the City

Beschreibung

Reading Manna's collection of poetry is a very orally and aurally therapeutic process. His free-verse and continuously repetitive rhythm and movement intertwines familiar images of Indonesia, in particular of Manna's home city Surabaya. Simultaneously, he treats language in a way that evokes very unusual and sensory moments for the reader.
