Description:“Despite the anguish, outraged cries and occasional despair, however, the underlying tone of Building a Boat in Paradise is one of resilience and hope for a better Aceh. More importantly, Zubaidah also relentlessly demands that we deal with ‘historical wounds’, borrowing Chakrabarty’s term for mis-recognition of an unsettling past in public representation.” Amrih Widodo, Australian National University ***The first edition of Building a Boat in Paradise was a selection of 30 poems from Pulang Melawan Lupa; translated to English by Heather Curnow. The translator often struggled with metaphors that seemed untranslatable, with snippets of Acehnese and with unfamiliar historical and religious references. But in the end, with constant encouragement from Zubaidah, the spirit of the poems made a safe transition and the book was completed. Launched at the Australian National University, Canberra, on 15 August 2014.This new English edition of Building a Boat in Paradise (published by INSISTPress, Yogyakarta) has been edited and the presentation improved.
