Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colours of the heart cannot be captured on a flag. And what can science explain about your suffering? What do the numbers say about the memories that haunt you in dreams? —Robin Block, ‘Inner War.’ One day, I stripped off my childhood to arrive at a passage towards to adulthood Overseas —Angelina Enny, ‘One Day I Crossed.’ Too often, Indonesia and the Netherlands present their shared history as two separate stories that barely seem to touch one another. Grand narratives of heroes, victims, soldiers and flags. But where is the common ground? Where can we place the subtle twists of fate and ambiguities of the heart? What do we do with the personal stories that fit neither country nor flag? In Between brings two worlds together in poems, personal stories and mantras. Robin Block (NL) and Angelina Enny (ID) create an in-between world of the past and present, the mythical and the real, the personal and the universal. What happens when we share our most personal stories? And listen to the sounds of our memories and dreams, the voices of our ancestors?
