april was... mwaahhh *chef's kiss!
thank you @thesupergrain semuanya enak banget :P

when i was asked to do a reading for subtle volume, i started to ruminate on what stillness meant to me. the poems i read that night were born from moments that looked still on the surface, but held my head underwater. sometimes it’s in the quiet that the most difficult truths come up for air–and that’s something @salvita.decorte has always understood.
i want to say thank you @sun.contemporary and @favelamunk for not only creating this series, but for welcoming me into its debut. i never thought i would read my poems like this. thank you, salvita, for trusting me with this and for being there in spirit. thank you @rickyleegordon @nindynoto and @mekuto__ for making this happen.
and thank you to everyone who came and stayed. my poems might not have made perfect sense, but what mattered most was that you stayed until the end ♡ much love xx

We look forward to gathering with our community again tomorrow for Subtle Volume 01.
A bi-monthly sonic evening, unfolding after dinner on select weekends in Bali, an invitation to attune, soften, and stay with what is heard.
The Shape of Stillness by @salvita.decorte anchors the space, quiet, tactile, intentional.
Sound selections from @__kiwed and @houseofmalakai move at low frequency, carrying the night without haste.
Poetry by @rayshabir appears and dissolves, shaped by the room, those within it, and the present moment.
Arrive gently.
Depart when listening feels complete.

i’ll always remember how surprised i was when @ubudwritersfest invited me to launch my second book back in 2021. i was slowly crawling out of the pandemic, writing and releasing a book about my pain that resurfaces in the quiet of isolation. writing has always been a lonely effort. and i couldn’t fathom that people would care enough about my poems and invite me as a speaker, and invest their time and energy to read my stories--let alone hear me talk about it. since then, it’s always humbling to have my book in their hands, and i always try to thank as many people as i could for holding both me in their arms.
so here i am, some four years later and i have met countless of people who showed up for me during the festival. i have countless of gratitude and hugs to everyone, who makes me feel even more proud of this book than I already was. thank you for hearing me read my poems, reading the poems yourselves, sending me handwritten letters, messaging me about which poems was your favorite, taking photos with it, quoting it, putting stickers on it and diving headfirst to the world of “Benevolence!” ♡
to the beautiful poets, writers and readers who shared me their stories from all over the world, giving me their books, writing me love letters, dumping their lores, taking a hike with me, sharing food, sharing cigarettes, and just obsess about poetry with me; i’ll carry this feeling with me wherever i go. thank you. truly. this one’s for you. xx

i’ll always remember how surprised i was when @ubudwritersfest invited me to launch my second book back in 2021. i was slowly crawling out of the pandemic, writing and releasing a book about my pain that resurfaces in the quiet of isolation. writing has always been a lonely effort. and i couldn’t fathom that people would care enough about my poems and invite me as a speaker, and invest their time and energy to read my stories--let alone hear me talk about it. since then, it’s always humbling to have my book in their hands, and i always try to thank as many people as i could for holding both me in their arms.
so here i am, some four years later and i have met countless of people who showed up for me during the festival. i have countless of gratitude and hugs to everyone, who makes me feel even more proud of this book than I already was. thank you for hearing me read my poems, reading the poems yourselves, sending me handwritten letters, messaging me about which poems was your favorite, taking photos with it, quoting it, putting stickers on it and diving headfirst to the world of “Benevolence!” ♡
