My Dream Job by Norman Erikson Pasaribu

‘In this shimmering and uncanny poetry collection, Norman Erikson Pasaribu skillfully wields religious imagery and multilingualism as a means of estranging us from the familiar alienation of a hyper- capitalist, queerphobic and racist society.This is a book which simmers with a defiant rage, all the while offering the reader palpable moments of tenderness, or something akin to hope.’ —Mary Jean Chan, author of Flèche From the author of Sergius Seeks Bacchus and Happy Stories Mostly Norman Erikson Pasaribu, comes their first English-language poetry collection. Expertly crafted, My Dream Job is a tender playground of intellect and wit, where cultural extraction is the muse and spectres, the hope. The ultimate eulogy for a postcolonial dream.
