This book is a book that gave birth to a new genre of poetry in post-Reformasi Indonesian literature, namely "Essay Poetry" (Puisi Esai). In this book, the author criticizes a number of excesses of the Reformation, such as the existence of racial conflicts, discrimination, and human rights violations. All these concerns are voiced by the author by experimenting with a new form of poetry, a poem that uses footnotes as well as essays. Essay poetry was finally recognized by the literary world as a new poetry genre, with the emergence of many poets who wrote essays and the emergence of essay poetry communities in Malaysia.
