Akheiron
Rifki Syarani Fachry
Translated from Indonesian by Adib Arkan
Akheiron by Rifki Syarani Fachry, translated from Indonesian by Adib Arkan and published by Ethel Press, is a book rooted in Indonesia. Fachry’s Akheiron, translated by Adib Arkan, brings Indonesian poetry into English through Ethel Press, and the title has the feel of myth, threshold, or invented passage. Where the metadata is sparse, I would resist overexplaining the book and instead let the title’s strangeness guide the reading. This seems like a collection to approach for atmosphere: river, underworld, crossing, or a lyric intelligence moving through shadowed geography. The pleasure may be in not knowing too quickly what kind of door has opened.
