A sequence of six poems inspired by two visits to Indonesia in the mid-to-late 1990s.

In 1998 the online US poetry journal Eclectica published six poems I'd written about my travels through Indonesia. Go to: Indonesian Sequence - five poems (external link) - Ghost of Sanur Beach, The Dragon Sleeps, Bird of Memory, Tuyul, On Bali - Third World Blues and The Weeping Idol. All poems copyright Ian Irvine, 1994-1998, all rights reserved. This sequence also appeared in my first collection of poems: Facing the Demon of Noontide.

The image above was taken at Borobodur, Java in 1997, copyright Sue King-Smith, all rights reserved.
