What to read after Request of The Sky (90 Poems in Indonesian Print Media)?

REQUESTS OF THE SKY

forgive me…
if i'm not as beautiful as i used to be
and no longer blue
because all your actions too
you cut down all my pillars
to decorate your furniture

oh the virtuous beings
my request is only one
keep my friend
this earth
like you take care of yourself

if you realize
this sickness of the earth is your pain
the anguish of the earth is your misery
once again, keep the earth!

Throughout his authorship career beginning in early 2005, his writings have spread across 73 local and national mass media and won dozens of awards.

Request of the Sky contains selected poems entirely in local and national media from early 2005-2012. The process of authorship that can be spelled out long enough to make Lasinta more mature in the work. No exaggeration if the poems in this book further confirm that the work of Lasinta is quite successful in coloring Indonesian literary blantika, especially newspaper literature.

Thus, reading Request of the Sky can be a means of adding a collection of literary material to readers who want to learn to write poetry or an agitated poet to simply conduct a comparative study of the work. Because reading other people's work can make our eyes open to assess what kind of quality our work.
