Arsip Bencana Masa Depan

An archive usually preserves what has passed; this collection of poetry preserves what has yet to arrive. Within it are recorded the disasters marching toward us, the melting ice atop mountain peaks, forests and wildlife vanishing one by one, the gold mine tearing through Sangihe Island, alongside a quieter collapse within ourselves: the anxiety, loss, and alienation of humans living between screens and memory.

Here, the dying earth and the fractured soul embody two faces of the same extinction. Reading it may be an effort to learn to remember the future before it arrives, and leaving nothing behind to remember.
