Abstract

Literature, as in any nation, is part of fundamental cultural heritage and asset in Indonesia. Each nation shows a great length to which it has diversity in the practice of literary works. A cultured nation, however, not only is known to have such diversity, but also demonstrates critical attempts for appreciating, promoting and preserving the literary works as its national cultural products. Literary works can be so powerful that they can be used as a strategy for nation building, defining a nation’s identity and constructing its way of thinking. This indicates that literary works can help educate and foster the natives’ intellectual development and, at the same time, provides insight into, perception on and assessment of socioeconomic differences and norms across different societies. One of the major literary genres is poetry. Poetry is recognizable by its distinctive style of expressing language, which is given intensity by distinctive aspects of sounds and provides vivid and unique description of imaginative, emotional and intellectual properties of the poet who leaps from his individual and social life. Poetry is enhanced through certain poetic devices to evoke an idea, a feeling or a reaction in the reader or listener. In addition to its entertaining and educative values, poetry presents a strong case of thought invasion in a way that point of view is explored along with conceptual thinking and creative thinking that connect individuals with larger truths and ideas in different societies through the interaction between the reader and the poet’s inner life. Integrating a body of knowledge-processes and tools into the underlying implicit meaning frameworks that are reflective of the poetry’s values and poet’s experiences can be done through naturalization.
