On this day in 1927, RIVAI APIN was born. He has worked as a police assistant (and as a black marketeer), but for the most part, his occupation has been that of an editor. Closely associated with Chairil Anwar, Apin has published comparatively little poetry. Unlike Anwar, however, he has exerted a very considerable influence on the Indonesian literary scene by extraliterary means, principally by his work as an editor.
