instead of catching the bus to work, catches the ‘I don’t like Mondays’ flight
to Bali. But is she too late to indulge her paradise dream? How many western
women have arrived before her and fallen headlong for the lush green island,
its exotic culture, and their attractive driver?</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Set in the artisan hill town of
Ubud, Bali, in the aftermath of the bombing that rocked Bali's famed peace and
serenity, Jan Cornall’s novel explores notions of paradise and a modern woman’s
quest for meaning in an increasingly hostile world.<br />
<br />
Take Me to Paradise shows how different the paradise dream can be: for a
western woman, for a Balinese man, for a Balinese wife, and the many characters
Marilyn meets. Cornall reminds us, as the Balinese do, that while the painful
events of our lives leave their mark, if we are to go on living, we have no
choice but to let them go.</span><br />

escape is one that turns into a journey, not so much of self-discovery as one
of self-awakening -- of senses and sensuality, independence and individuality.
Paradise, in this sense, exists within oneself. Part travel journal, part
diary, Take Me to Paradise is a gem of a novella likely to become a well-worn
travel companion. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chisato Hara, Jakarta

tale called Seven Husbands is certainly my favourite part of the book. In it a
Balinese woman uses her desire to rebel against our oppressive Balinese culture
and show the men that women have needs just like them, whether in terms of
education, participation in ‘Banjar’ community activities, voicing our need to
be heard or for gaining equality in sexual desire. It shows that Balinese
culture is not paying a lot of attention to basic human needs such as sex,
still pretending it doesn’t exist and still upholding the taboo to talk about
it. I would recommend it to both Indonesians and westerners to raise and
eyebrow and question their innocent sweet smile. “</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">

talented, funny, smart, relaxed; like being welcomed into the artists home, but
with the edge of sharp wit. My friends and I left laughing and singing one of
her ditties which had definitely touched the spot for one friend in
particular,who felt as if Jan had read her emails to friends back in Australia
of the idiosycratic lifestyle of an expat in Bali. We all agreed..."they

The day of the cabaret launch arrived! In the mid afternoon I trundled my books down to the venue a few blocks from where I was staying on the <a href="http://archipela-gogo.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/the-lower-east-side.html">Lower East Side</a>. There I met Adam Horowitz, the manager of the <a href="http://www.boweryartsandscience.org/">Bowery Poetry Club</a>, and checked out the space. Lovely, perfect, it couldn't be better. A bar near the entrance draws people off the street into a high ceilinged cabaret space, with chandelier and white clothed tables and chairs gathered around a small small stage — very durasienne indeed. <br />

I took a few pics and walked home again, swinging by the Essex fresh food market to my now fave Japanese snack bar for some brown rice balls with umeboshi. I'd been trying to cure my traveller's belly with bland foods — so far it wasn't working, and I didn't know what to do for my swollen ankles except put them up the wall when I got home as I went over my running order and ran through a few tunes.<br />

Singing in New York! I was already doing it, in a tiny apartment down near the East River, to the accompaniment of jack hammers from the building site next door. Somehow it's these small moments that are the most memorable. Like my walk back to the Bowery once I had showered, dressed and fiddle fuddled around with accessories. Even if I somehow I took the wrong turn and didn't get to the venue until after the audience had gone home (a recurring dream of mine), even if no body turned up, even if the whole thing turned out to be a big flop, I would forever cherish this moment of feeling like a NY local walking to work in my momentary NY neighbourhood, past the Chinese grocer stacking his cartons of smelly frozen fish, past the Taqueria taco bar, the Indian convenience store, the red neon sign of PSYCHIC $25, past designer shops as big as cupboards, past noodle bars, cocktail bars, green juice bars, frozen yoghurt bars, tiny art galleries, teeny bookshops, kinky vintage shops and more; to join the crowd of New York street characters on a hot July afternoon.<br />

It turned out I wasn't dream walking and I arrived with a good 45 mins to spare before our 6.30pm show time. Not long after, my assistant for the night, fellow theatre maker from Oz, Suze Smith appeared and we got to, setting up the books and CDs on a table between the bar and the cabaret room. Then I popped downstairs to freshen up.The bathroom/dressing room was as stylish as the bar and I changed my shoes, fluffed up my hair with a bit of yummy smelling stuff, wacked on some lippy and deodorant, threw my red silk scarf back and forth in different positions and emerged to greet my fans. </div>

They hadn't turned up yet, but soon enough they began to trickle in: old friends from Bali, Australia, New York, other parts of the US, even a Londoner among them. At the end of this July 4th weekend it was quality, not quantity; an intimate crowd who laughed, smiled and nodded a lot, perhaps even shed a tear, as I delivered my song-poem, Money Honey, about a young man mourning the death of his much older sugar mummy, not because now he misses the money honey, but the love that has grown between them over the years. </div>

I felt relaxed and happy on the wee stage, doing what I was born to do: sing a song, perform a poem, give a little patter in between. I was in my element and I could tell those who hadn't seen my work before were pleasantly surprised and delighted. </div>

The feedback afterwards was genuine and appreciative, I even sold some books! and it was wonderful to hang about chatting with old friends until it was time to leave. Suze and I went for ramen then met up with friends, Sally Ford and
partner Patrick, who had just come off tour with the <a href="http://www.melbourneskaorchestra.com/">Melbourne Ska Orchestra</a>. They had been at the launch and rushed off to a jazz club after.We caught the last song of the Mingus Band with them, then rode the lifts to the top of the Empire State
Building. A great end to a great night! </div>

Back in NYC on my last day I visited the Poets House, a free, open to the public, 60,000-volume poetry library in New York City. Its collection is among the most comprehensive,
open-stack collections of poetry in the United States and they also run excellent poetry events and workshops. 'Poets
House documents the wealth and diversity of modern poetry and stimulates
public dialogue on issues of poetry in culture.' I donated a copy of Archipelagogo to the grateful librarian who remarked what a beautiful book it was. I left wondering who it will sit next to on their rows and rows of shelves. Another reason to go back for a second visit!</div>

When you make a book you are making a gift for the world. A gift is a talking point, a gesture, the beginning of a conversation, an opening. When you doubt yourself, you close down, you contract, the light can't get in. Plenty of doubt and fear goes into writing a book, a poem, a song; the biggest being that you will make a complete fool of yourself, and believe me, along the way you will. Yes, there will be moments when you feel so foolish you want to crawl back in your hole and never come out AND there will be moments of total euphoria, as you revel in your audacity and daring to reach for the heights only you know you are capable of. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those of you who helped make my New York dream a reality, I give my deepest thanks. I went to New York City to launch a book but in fact I did much more. I revisited a creative relationship I began in a country where in the mid 70s I wrote <a href="http://jccsonglyrics.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/nevada.html">my first song</a> which, unbenowns to me then, began my writing career. I made new connections with poets, artists, musicians, dancers, writers and got a taste for more —of one of the wonders of the world, New York, NewYork. </div>

I arrived in NYC yesterday after a long haul flight with transit stopovers in Taipei and Osaka. I'm feeling a bit woozy and my time clock is confused but I'm walking it off by exploring the lower east side and the east and west village. The weather when I arrived was 38 degrees but a big electrical storm came through in the evening and cooled everything down.<br />
<br />
<br />

<span id="goog_1364124021"></span><span id="goog_1364124022"></span>In this part of town, close to Chinatown, I'm catching whiffs of other cities I've visited: Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City, Yangon, even Paris! Found a wonderful fresh food market and got some supplies in and had a long deep sleep in my tiny but cute airbnb room.<br />

<br />
Today I'm in search of a print shop to get some leaflets done re the show but businesses are closed due to the July 4 holiday. I went down to the Bowery Poetry club too, but it is closed as well.<br />
But it's good to be getting my bearings, and sussing out the territory. Now I've landed in the Noho Starbucks for a large peppermint tea and free wifi. It's raining outside and I've left my brolly at home so I might just have to go singing in the rain!<br />

We could easily have been in NYC. A cute wee cafe on a busy boheme street, where we celebrated the end of our Indiegogo Campaign with a sneak preview of the Archipelagogo cabaret.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The tiny venue, Parliament on King, was packed with friends and supporters.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Pumpkin soup, coffee, tea and champers kept the crowd happy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How many people can you fit in a living room cafe!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
and this was before the latecomers arrived. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Somehow as more people arrived we managed to find a place to put them!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It was standing room only for 10 or so peeps and they stood valiantly enjoying the show.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I was in my element of course, on the wee stage, made from books, specially built by host Ravi Prasad.<br />
<br />
On a talk I gave two nights before at Ultimo Library with Walter Mason, I gave some creativity tips. 'We all need a cheer squad,' I said. 'A small group of people who encourage your creative side no matter what.' My cheer squad are in these pics. Thanks dear friends! Your support means everything to me. Without it I would forget to do the things I love to do!<br />

The New York Launch is all set for July 7 at The Bowery Poetry Club. It's been a whirlwind of activity organising the <a href="http://igg.me/at/jansnylaunch">Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign</a> to get there, but the payoff has been receiving the fabulous support from friends, family, fellow artists and sympathisers while covering my travel expenses.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The campaign is still rolling and I'm hoping to hit a renewed target of $4500 by the June 26 deadline. To receive a signed copy of the book or other great goodies you can still make a contribution <a href="http://here./">HERE.</a><br />

<br />
<br />
In the meantime I need to turn a little attention to the cabaret performance I have promised of the songs and poems from the book, so I will be doing a sneak preview at my fave cafe,<a href="http://www.parliamentonking.com/"> Parliament On King, 632 King St </a>on Friday June 27 at 6.30 pm. Do drop by if you can for a taste of what I will be presenting in NYC.<br />

<i>"Archipelagogo - Love Songs To Indonesia</i> is Jan Cornall's spoken and sung cabaret of songs and poems, rants and raves, from the recently published book of the same name. Many of these love-song-poems about people, places and the complexities of cross cultural relationships, have been sung acapella to audiences at literary festivals across the Asia Pacific Region. With
a frank and fresh approach, Jan applies her playful wit and raw insight
to her experiences as a naive <i>bule</i> (foreigner) who falls in love
with everything Indonesian and every Indonesian she meets. With songs and poems like <i>Indonesian Handbag, Jogja Cowboy, Lampung Boy, Married Men Invite You In, Pleasure and Pain, Money Honey, Exotic Erotic,</i> Jan’s cabaret takes you on a tour of the sights and sounds of Indonesia via a map of the heart. "<br />
<br />
The words in the book are accompanied by a selection of wonderful paintings by Indonesian artist Jumaadi. See more of his work and read some of the poem/songs<a href="http://archipela-gogo.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/married-men.html"> here.</a><br />

Many thanks for your support! See you in New York! </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Archipelagogo</span></b> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Love Songs to Indonesia</i> by Jan Cornall</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This unique collection of songs, poems and stories pays
tribute to Jan’s travels around Indonesia in the decade beginning 2002. While
many of them are written for Jan’s musical performances this book immerses you
in her evocative, hilarious, playful and original creations of words , words,
words. The beautiful illustrations and the way the text is presented contribute
to the delicious pleasure of dipping into this erotic pool of poems again and
again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The songs/poems are enhanced by reading them aloud allowing
their cadence, rhythm, alliteration and imagery to come alive. However, if you
choose to read them silently they also have another story to tell. I love her
depiction of cultural difference which she sometimes turns upside down as in
the delightful poem <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Married Men</i> where
she imagines how their wives may be pursuing erotic adventures just like them. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Jogya Cowboy</i> is another such song and
Jan comments that if he had a horse he would ride like John Wayne but instead
he is small in stature, rides a Vespa and is so charismatic you can’t help
falling under his spell. When you read the poem you believe her and want to
catch the first plane to Yogyakarta in Java and not just to wander among the
Buddhas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Erotic hilarity reaches new heights in the song <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Follow that Thing</i> featuring the lament
of wives which easily crosses cultures and cannot fail to bring a smile, a
laugh, a grimace and a nod of recognition.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other poems and stories show us the shadow side of eroticism
but they never fail to intrigue and bring both joy and sadness to the reader.
The Balinese ‘folk tale’ of the woman with seven husbands is such fun but has a
message of loving presence that transcends the stereotypes of age and place. There
isn’t a single poem or story I could suggest you skip even the chilling <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">House of a Thousand</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Doors</i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>which evokes its
history of torture and death. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you are near of the book there is a special treat in
store for you in the wonderfully moving poem <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Little Mother</i>. After her mother’s death Jan imagines her presence wherever
she goes so that her mother becomes part of the landscape and the people that
Jan loves so much. It is impossible not to have tears in your eyes and love in
your heart as you read this poem.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book is a treasure trove of sensual, literary and
musical delights revealingly embedded in Indonesian culture and place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

It is certainly a book filled with desire, culture, vibrancy and
colour which give the reader insight into the deepest exploration
of the exotic and erotic dreams of every woman. The writer certainly
expresses her love for Indonesia – which in my bones is the
exact feeling I have for Australia. In her travels Jan Cornall seemed to fall in love
with all kinds of Indonesian men, Indonesian culture and everything
Indonesian.
A fantasy Balinese folk tale called Seven Husbands is certainly my favourite part of
the book. In it a Balinese woman uses her desire to rebel against
our oppressive Balinese culture and show the men that women have needs just like them, whether in terms of education, participation
in ‘Banjar’ community activities, voicing our need to be heard or for gaining equality in sexual desire. It shows that Balinese
culture is not paying a lot of attention to basic human needs such as
sex, still pretending it doesn’t exist and still upholding the taboo to talk
about it</span>.<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I would recommend it to both Indonesians and westerners to raise and eyebrow and question their innocent sweet smile. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span data-measureme="1"><span class="null"></span></span></span></span><br />

This is a fun book and one of the best I have read in a while - and mind you I am usually not one for poetry. Enjoy the ride!'<br /><br />Ilka Schroeder.</span><br />

last year I stumbled upon a wonderful evening at Bar Luna in Jalan
Goutama Ubud, as part of the Ubud writers festival.
It was Jan Cornall and her Archipelagogo cabaret and I felt like I had been transported back to a time when performances were
more personal, what some call 'old school'. To me it means multi
skilled, multi talented, funny, smart, relaxed; like being welcomed into
the artists home, but with the edge of sharp wit.
My friends and I left laughing and singing one of her ditties which had
definitely touched the spot for one friend in particular,who felt as if
Jan had read her emails to friends back in Australia of the
idiosycratic lifestyle of an expat in Bali.
We all agreed..."they dont make em like they used to!"
Jan is a treasure. </span></span><br />

Following your heart is not always a simple process. Following your intuition may feel just right even if you know it could get tricky down the line. This is the story of a perfect intuitive match between writer and publisher (the reason I ended up publishing in Indonesia), the only complication being to this wonderful relationship was — how to get the books across the water.<br />

I met my Indonesian publishers <a href="http://saritaksu.com/aboutus.htm">Sarita Newson</a> and her son<a href="http://www.adidharma.net/"> Kadek Krishna Adidharma</a> at the first <a href="http://www.ubudwritersfestival.com/">Ubud Writers Festival</a> in 2004. In those early years we were all involved in helping get the festival off the ground and when I finished my first novel (set in Bali), in 2006, <a href="http://saritaksu.com/aboutus.htm">Saritaksu Editions</a> offered to publish it. Of course I agreed. I loved the wonderful art and poetry books they produced and this was to be their first novel. (They have since done more see <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Renditions-My-Soul-Story-Balinese/dp/9791173230">here</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E0BKI6Q/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk">here</a>). We launched at UWRF in Oct 2006 and worked together in other ways: helping launch another of their books,<a href="http://saritaksu.com/butterflies.htm"> <i>Butterflies of Bali</i></a> by Victor Mason in Jakarta, editing Toeti Heraty's,<a href="http://saritaksu.com/calonarang.htm"> <i>Calon Arang</i></a><i> - Story of a Woman Sacrificed to Patriarchy</i>, running writing workshops at their beachside hacienda in Sanur, writing retreats at their <a href="http://www.lakeviewbali.com/">Lakeview Hotel</a> in Kintamani, co-sponsoring West Papuan poet John Waromi to workshop his new novel in Bali, to name a but a few.<br />

It may sound like my pubishers are millionaires and in the untold riches of life you would say they are, but the fact is like most people in Bali they eke out a living as best they can.<br />
<br />
Which is where this story comes in. Working out ways to transport books across the water to Oz without paying hefty freight and import/export fees is always a creative challenge. While my novel <i><a href="http://yourparadiseormine.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/chapter-1.html">Take Me To Paradise</a></i> was on sale at bookshops acrosss Bali (nestled next to Elizabeth Gilbert's <i>Eat, Pray Love),</i><i> </i>it was up to me to find distribution in Australia. But how to bring the books over without extra expense? Surely it wouldn't be so difficult for as you can see from the map below, it's just not that far!<br />
<br />

<br />
As I was coming and going from Bali often, I became expert at packing my carry-on suitcase with nothing but books plus a layer of dirty underwear on top. I could fit up to 50 books that way. These were the days in the old Bali Airport before they checked the weight of carry on. You could go through, check in your big bag, then come back outside again, pick up your carry on case from a waiting friend, and waltz right through with no questions asked. The only suspicion would arise with a steward remarking as he was heaving the case into the overhead lockers, 'what have you got in there -bricks?' Not far wrong!<br />
<br />
It was also the days of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schapelle_Corby">Schapelle's</a> ongoing appeal and the Bali Nine, so there was added level of paranoia and anxiety. The advantage of having your suitcase plastic wrapped was that it may be less likely to be searched in Oz, then again maybe not. If they did want to open it up I would explain, 'no this is not a commercial venture, I took the books over for a festival and alas didn't sell so well.' They would sympathise, wish me better luck next time, and off I would go.<br />

In 2007 we had a lucky break.<a href="http://sandrathibodeaux.wordpress.com/about/"> Sandra Thibodeaux </a>with the NT Writers Centre had been working with Kadek Kris and Sitok Srengenge on an anthology of writing from the Oz/Indo region called<a href="http://ntwriters.com.au/terra/"> Terra. </a>It was published in Jakarta by Kata Kita Books and they had the same problem, until word came through there was room in a container leaving for Darwin from the coast of Java with some extra space for some of mine. I don't know how above or below board it was, but it was going to be a free ride for a few hundred of my books to Darwin at least, then perhaps I could bring them down through the centre by camel! Just kidding, but the deal had that kind of feel to it and was being supervised by an Aussie guy called something like Dakka, and we had to get the books to him by 4pm on such and such a day or else the deal was off. Sarita and Kadek somehow got the books to Jogjakarta and then on from there. Apparently they just made it in time. The last leg was done by motorbike. My writer's mind embellishes visions of the bike piled high with boxes of books tied on at odd angles with bamboo string, driving up a mud track to an out of the way wharf, with Dakka or was it Macca? pacing, smoking kretek, while the boat is champing at the bit to set sail so it can slip into the strait under the cover of darkness.<br />

The books arrived in Darwin safely, in perfect condition and were delivered to the NT Writers Centre. Mine sat under a table waiting to be ferried by a friend to the trusty Greyhound depot and dispatched to me in Sydney.<br />
<br />
A couple of years later I got a message from NT Writers asking what did I want them to do with the books? Apparently half the boxes were still sitting under the table! Greyhound came to the rescue again just in time to replenish my stocks.<br />
<br />
Here's another story. Last year when my latest book, Archipelagogo, arrived in Ubud fresh from the printer in Jakarta, I was so smitten by it, I forgot to remember I might be cursing it in months to come. We had a lovely cabaret launch at<a href="http://writingontuktuks.blogspot.com.au/2013_10_01_archive.html"> Bar Luna</a> during UWRF, sold a few books (never as many as you'd like to) and once more, like a mother who had forgotten how painful the birth was, I was faced with the same conundrum — how to get the books home.<br />

If I had been super organised I could have given a package of five books to each Aussie attending the festival (there were a lot) and that would have taken care of it. As I couldn't do the old walk-in-walk- out trick at the airport any more, I worked out how many books I could sequester in my luggage and still be under the limit. My carry-on bag wasn't as heavy as last time, and somehow I still managed to bring about 40 -50 books home. But I needed more for the Sydney launch planned for April, so Sarita and I investigated shipping costs for Denpasar to Sydney.<br />
<br />
To bring six hundred books by sea was affordable so I went with the cheapest quote, negotiated the pick up and expected to see the books at my door in under a month. I should have had second thoughts when the shipper sent me an email to say 'we can't guarantee the books won't get wet'. !!! I imagined the books teetering on deck in a rickety container, the door flinging open on the roll of the sea and the waves breaking over my boxes. Or god forbid — this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
'Don't worry,' the shipper explained after I sent a 'concerned reply. ' It should be fine, we have to say that as when they spray for quarantine it can get a bit moist.' 'Oh', I replied flatly, 'ok,' wondering if it was too late to wriggle out of this deal and try another company. Nah, lets just stay with it, I decided.<br />
<br />
The days passed and when I enquired if the books were on their way, the shipper explained they were still at the dock, waiting for the container to fill up. They'd had some problems with some of their suppliers, sorry, nothing they could do. Did you want us to organise to send some by air freight? No, way too expensive. How long will it be? Well, a month on the dock and another month to get to Sydney. Two months!! I huffed and puffed. Nothing I could do, but postpone the launch. Lucky it had only been mooted, not announced. <br />
<br />
Where are the books now you ask? The answer is I don't know.<br />
<br />

<br />
Perhaps they have been put to better use!<br />
<br />
But we are still planning to launch July 7 at Bowery Poetry Club in New York and Sydney in September. Now how will I get the books to New York City? We could go overland by mule.<br />
I'm looking into it.<br />

where have you gone<br />
are you floating about in the ether<br />
are you feeling happy and strong?<br />
where are you now my best mum<br />
where can you be<br />
When will you be sending a message to me?<br />
<br />
Are you up in the clouds looking down<br />
are you drifting on an airstream<br />
just wandering around<br />
are you waving at me madly<br />
only I can't see<br />
that you're already standing<br />
right in front of me<br />
Where are you now little mother?<br />
<br />
Did you see me in the my <i>kost</i> room<br />
getting the call<br />
that you'd finally decided to leave us all<br />
when my watch stopped dead in the middle of the night<br />
was that you telling me you'd be alright <br />
did you see my tears, my disbelief<br />
knew you had to go<br />
but did you have to leave<br />
Where are you now little mother?<br />
<br />
Did you watch me jump into a taxi to Glodok next day<br />
to go to a Chinese temple to pray<br />
in a<i> klenteng</i> full of smoke and incense<br />
litte mother, did it make any sense<br />
to pray to ceramic buddhas in that way <br />
Where are you now litte mother?<br />
<br />
And with some friends we prayed to Allah<br />
and others back home doing mantra<br />
did it make any difference<br />
or was it just for us<br />
to feel we were making some kind of fuss<br />
'cos little mother you didn't care for religious stuff<br />
like heavens and hells and all that guff<br />
your life was a hell<br />
you told us often enough<br />
Have you left that hell behind now little mother?<br />
<br />
And did you see me smsing my kids on the day<br />
they waved your coffin slowly away<br />
did you follow the hearse to the crematorium<br />
or were you already far<br />
far away, gone<br />
But where to little mother?<br />
<br />
And do you watch me in this Jakarta town<br />
is that you following me around<br />
as I ride in taxis, walk in the street<br />
greeted by everyone I meet<br />
hello mrs, hello mister<br />
dari mana, where you from<br />
please sit down, have a drink<br />
you like our country, what you think?<br />
Were you sitting with me then, little mother<br />
as we compared notes with one another<br />
and were you touched little mother, just like me<br />
by their warmth and generousity?<br />
<br />
And little mother, do you hear the morning call to prayer<br />
as it through the cool morning air<br />
and the morning sellers as they come<br />
loudly proclaiming to everyone<br />
roti, roti, roti, roti, roti<br />
dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong, dong dong dong dong<br />
dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong, dong dong dong dong<br />
ding ding ding, de ding ding ding<br />
tok tok tok te tok tok tok <br />
and still it's only 6 o'clock<br />
the bubur man on his motorbike<br />
like a frog croaking in the night<br />
bubur ayam bubur, bubur ayam, bubur.<br />
then all the women coming out<br />
like Mary Magdelenes, so devout<br />
their beauty framed by colours strong<br />
as gracefully they glide along<br />
and men on <i>motos</i> taking kids to school<br />
can you see it little mother<br />
Can you see it all?<br />
<br />
And out into the <i>macet</i>, <i>macet</i><br />
to be carried away<br />
on the sea of moving metal<br />
as they do every day<br />
working so hard for their meagre pay<br />
and under the tall freeway pylons<br />
tired mothers, sick babes in arms<br />
tap at car windows, hopefully<br />
to move someone with their mournful plea<br />
can you help them little mother<br />
Can you help them?<br />
<br />
And so on and on, into the day<br />
and everyone still finds time to pray<br />
on and on, to the mall<br />
where<i> ibu ibu</i> meet to tell all<br />
as they swish about in luxury<br />
safe from the seething human sea<br />
do you see it little mother<br />
Do you see?<br />
<br />
Can you see the buses full<br />
can you see the bajais spluttering<br />
in the sky, tiny kites a-fluttering<br />
litte boys hold tight the string<br />
way down in the crowded kampung<br />
as if to say, one day I will fly <br />
fly away from this place<br />
into a sky so free and spacious<br />
just like you little mother<br />
Just like you?<br />
<br />
And when the sky turns a blazing red<br />
and all good children are in bed<br />
and when the night begins to fall<br />
do you see them, do you see them all<br />
all the night workers waking up<br />
just in time for evening prayer<br />
before they go to make a dollar in a crowded bar<br />
entertaining <i>bule</i> flown in from afar<br />
as they ride the sex world underground<br />
where you can taste anything you please<br />
Russian, Korean, Japanese<br />
and satisfaction will be yours for sure<br />
just leave your wallet at the door<br />
did you watch them little mother<br />
Did you watch them all?<br />
<br />
Did you see the musos trundling home<br />
from their late night hotel gigs<br />
artists, writers, talking late<br />
in crowded cafes on the street<br />
pece lele, soto ayam<br />
all night in the roadside <i>warung</i><br />
and catching my bluebird taxi home<br />
were you with me little mother <br />
as we took the tol again<br />
how many miles have I travelled alone<br />
speeding into a night that stretches so far<br />
apartment buildings rising tall<br />
from low tin house swamps with kerosene lamp<br />
where breathing bodies find rest in a corner of damp<br />
and the glittering lights of the mall never go out<br />
promising, one day we can have it all<br />
do you think so litte mother<br />
Do you think so?<br />
<br />
And did you see me shaking in my bed<br />
when I thought the roof would come crashing on my head<br />
as the sky cracked and groaned in an angry roar<br />
and the wrath of the heavens started to pour<br />
washing the sins of the city away<br />
into drains and canals, like a glacier flow<br />
taking with it every bit of plastic that will go<br />
where does it all go little mother<br />
Do you now know?<br />
<br />
And did you come with me across the strait<br />
arriving at the tinkling gate of the favorite Bali isle <br />
did you fly above the crowded street<br />
as the cremation procession wound its way<br />
at the temple did you see, two bodies wrapped in white<br />
elderly women of royalty, placed in majestic sarcophagi<br />
the proud black bulls standing tall, as fires lit around their feet<br />
began to lick and leap up high into the cloudy Ubud sky<br />
and through the flames did you see their bodies appear<br />
blackened skin and stringy hair <br />
tough and stubborn, strong as leather<br />
is this how they lived their lives together<br />
and little mother, did your body burn like this<br />
or was it over all to quick<br />
with just a workman standing there<br />
adjusting his crotch and scratching his hair<br />
and in a jiffy you were done<br />
into the grinder, here comes another one <br />
<br />
I'm sorry little mother I wasn't there<br />
to carry you all the way to the end<br />
but never one for ceremony<br />
I know you would have said<br />
'heavens don't bother with any of that<br />
for christsakes I'll be dead'<br />
<br />
But that's the trick I can't quite get<br />
'cos now you're gone<br />
your presence seems stronger<br />
is it true, little mother<br />
is that you little mother?<br />
the tiny kitten at my door<br />
the finches on the window pane<br />
who come to visit again and again<br />
the butterflies in the <i>sawa</i><br />
I've never noticed them before<br />
but I met a man who opened my eyes<br />
just like you, to all the <i>kupu kupu</i><br />
are you that man?<br />
how can that be?<br />
but perhaps you sent this man to me<br />
because he is enthralled, just like you<br />
by birds and butterflies and all wild flowers<br />
he can talk for hours and hours<br />
and never misses a single beat<br />
as he strides the paddies in gnarled bare feet<br />
and as we walked<br />
and as we talked<br />
I started to see you everywhere<br />
I realised you'd come back to earth<br />
as quickly as you'd left us here<br />
flitting about on every flower<br />
as always was your wont<br />
there you were in brilliant colours<br />
patterns on your wings<br />
dancing, prancing, in front of me<br />
then disappearing on a whim<br />
and I feel you mother<br />
everywhere<br />
flapping on the wind<br />
on every little puff of breeze that lands upon my skin <br />
your arms around me, little mother<br />
your arms around me tight<br />
I know you are a butterfly<br />
flapping in the night<br />
I know your life is over<br />
just when it's begun<br />
but then you roll back into your cocoon<br />
and come back as another one<br />
and you fill the air with butterflies of every single shade<br />
and I feel you all around me <br />
like the moment I was made<br />
by you little mother<br />
by you<br />
<br />
<br />
Stay close, little mother<br />
I'm here, little mother<br />
be near, little mother<br />
my strong little mother<br />
<br />

from falling in love with you<br />
There would be no problem<br />
if the singular were in use<br />
but in your case it's the plural<br />
that is causing me my mind to lose!<br />
<br />
Please help me, will you help me<br />
I don't know what to do<br />
it's not just one Indonesian<br />
but the whole bang lot of you<br />
Every hand I shake, every smile I see<br />
every laugh I share, everyone I greet<br />
I stagger, I swoon, I crumple, I fall<br />
into a jelly heap.<br />
<br />
Please help me, will you help me<br />
Can you tell me what to do<br />
I fall in love on every corner<br />
every day, anew<br />
You're so sexy and delicious<br />
passionate, outrageous<br />
intelligent, good looking and good cooks too!<br />
I want the world to share in my discovery<br />
at the same time I want to keep you all just for me!<br />
<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
And my friends think I've gone crazy<br />
my friends think I've gone mad<br />
'cos I'm always getting on a plane<br />
for that Indonesia land<br />
And my friends they can call me names<br />
I don't care;<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span>indogroupy, indohag<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">, </span></span>indonesian handbag<br />
And my government is scared of a terrorist attack<br />
but the only terror that I have is of never coming back!<br />
<br />
Please help me, will you help me<br />
I don't know what to do<br />
I've fallen, really fallen<br />
for the whole bang lot of you<br />
so when you see me standing in the street<br />
with tears in my eyes<br />
I'm not sad, I'm just happy<br />
my dreams to realise<br />
To finally meet a people so generous and kind<br />
who stimulate my body and excite my mind<br />
and there's only one question, now I have to ask; <br />
dear Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, God, Buddha<br />
<br />
Am I dreaming?<br />
If so, please let this dream last.<br />

<i>no I cannot have him </i><br />
<i>no I cannot keep him</i><br />
I fell in love with a real Java man<br />
<i>oh why can't I have him? </i><br />
<i>oh why can't I keep him?</i><br />
<br />
He was so tender<br />
he was so gentle<br />
he took me riding<br />
he took me to his temple<br />
he was so sexy<br />
he was so tough<br />
of those Jogja boys, you can't get enough<br />
<br />
I fell in love with a Jogja cowboy<br />
<i>no, I cannot have him </i><br />
<i>no, I cannot keep him</i><br />
I fell in love with a real Java Man <br />
<i>oh, why can't I have him? </i><br />
<i>oh, why can't I keep him?</i><br />
<br />
He has a life there, probably a wife there<br />
I am passing through now on another journey<br />
And even though at times, it can get lonely<br />
I know you can't hold on to a Jogja dream<br />
<br />
He was so tender<br />
he was so gentle<br />
he took me riding<br />
he took me to his temple<br />
he was so sexy<br />
he was so tough<br />
of those Jogja boys<br />
you can't get enough<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm dreaming of my Jogja cowboy and<i> </i><br />
<i>why I cannot have him</i><br />
<i>why I cannot keep him</i><br />
anticipating time with my real Java man<br />
<i>why can't I have him? </i><br />
<i>why can't I keep him?</i><br />
<br />
He has a life there, not only a wife there<br />
then there is his lover and then there is another<br />
he finds his loving where he can<br />
for after all he's a real Java man <i></i><br />
<br />
He was so tender<br />
he was so gentle<br />
he took me riding<br />
he took me to his temple<br />
he was so sexy<br />
he was so tough<br />
of those Jogja boys<br />
you can't get enough<br />
<br />
So I'm not going to think of my Jogja cowboy and<br />
<i>why I cannot have him</i><br />
<i>why I cannot keep him</i><br />
'til next I visit my Jogja town<br />
<i>Oh, why can't I have him?</i><br />
<i>why can't I keep him?</i><br />
I'll say hello if I see him<br />
I'll say hello if he's still around<br />
<br />
He was so tender<br />
he was so gentle<br />
he took me riding<br />
he took me to his temple<br />
he was so sexy<br />
he was so tough<br />
of those Jogja boys<br />
you can't get enough<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Archipelagogo
is a new collection of poems, songs and stories, penned during my
travels around the Indonesian Archipelago in the decade beginning 2004
(and a follow up to the <a href="http://yourparadiseormine.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/chapter-1.html">novel</a> I wrote during my Asia Link Residency in Jakarta in 2006). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Many
of these love-song-poems about people, places and the complexities of
cross cultural relationships, have been spoken and sung (acapella -
archipela) at different times to intimate audiences at literary
festivals in the Asia Pacific: Ubud Writers Festival, Utan Kayu Literary
Biennale, Darwin's Wordstorm, Braidwood's Two Fires Festival, St Kilda
Writers Festival, Hong Kong International Literary Festival.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">This beautifully presented book, published by <a href="http://saritaksu.com/">Saritaksu Editions</a>,
is illustrated with paintings by Indonesian artist Jumaadi and had its
first launch at a full house cabaret performance at Bar Luna,
during <a href="http://archipela-gogo.blogspot.com.au/2013_09_01_archive.html">Ubud Writers & Readers Festival</a> in October 2013.</span><br />

This song is played in a marching band style with marching band actions.(Like this one at Festival Mata Air In Salatiga, Central Java).<br />
I can see the band twirling and turning in formation, performing complex combinations. It's a very upbeat feel with lots of percussion, breaking into a battering samba band feel and rhythm.<br />
The lively way the song is performed reverses the hopelessness of being in pain; the song becomes a celebratory release as the drums beat the hell out of the misery state.<br />

Performed in the stage show<i> Take me To Paradise</i> at OzAsia Festival 2008.<br />
<br />
On my first visit to Bali in 2002, Ketut the driver from my guesthouse took me driving
out into the countryside. <span style="color: white;">We stopped </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="color: white;">at a few tourist places he thought I would like,</span> </span>but mostly we
drove through the rice paddy landscape . It seemed we were driving
further and further, deeper and deeper into green. I didnt want him to ever stop<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> <span style="color: white;">driving.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
Rice Paddy Green<br />
<br />
Drive me forever through rice paddy green<br />
I want to drive with you forever in your rice paddy dream<br />
together<br />
just driving<br />
never take me home<br />
forever in your rice paddies<br />
I just want to roam<br />
<br />
Drive me forever to your rice paddy temple<br />
I don't want to go back to my life<br />
It's that simple<br />
I want to stay forever<br />
I never want to leave<br />
It's here I begin my rice paddy dream<br />
<br />
Luminous, irridescent<br />
bright emerald green<br />
wild green, growing up through the wet earth, green<br />
growing as I watch green<br />
sprouting seeding, seeding, sprouting<br />
duck eating, bug eating green<br />
<br />
I want to drive forever in your windy roads of green<br />
round green corners, up green mountains, into green ravines<br />
through green, all over green, cover me, feed me with, love me with GREEN!<br />
<br />
Drive me forever to through rice paddy green <br />
I want to drive with you forever in your rice paddy dream<br />
together<br />
just driving<br />
never take me home<br />
forever in your rice paddies<br />
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie<br />
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIII<br />
just want to<br />
roooooooaaaaaaaam<br />

</div>
Back not so long ago in Bali as you walked along the street, all the drivers would
incessantly ask 'do you want transport' or 'transport, transport'. Now
they just hold a sign saying 'transport'. Did someone complain, did the
government bring in a new decree? Like all really annoying things, once
gone you miss them. So for this poem to work now, you have to imagine the guys still hassling and doing that crazy steering wheel mime as you approach.<br />

<br />
when I go home<br />
I want a Balinese man<br />
to stamp my documents<br />
with his warm smile<br />
<br />
to greet me at the airport gate <br />
holding high a sign with my name on it<br />
as if he has been waiting for me<br />
all my life<br />
<br />
when I go home<br />
I want a Balinese man<br />
to take all my luggage<br />
and lose it!<br />

<br />
<br />
when I go home<br />
I want a Balinese man<br />
to ask me every day<br />
what i would like to eat and drink<br />
and even if it takes an hour or more to arrive<br />
I won't mind<br />
as long as he walks by every few minutes<br />
and gives me<br />
THAT smile<br />

<br />
when I go home<br />
I want a Balinese man<br />
to sweep away my sorrows<br />
with his morning shwishk shwisk shwisk<br />
<br />
to oh so languidlly<br />
dust off all my hard edges<br />
<br />
to pick me <br />
like the red hibiscus flower<br />
and place me<br />
gently on the bed<br />
<br />

Do you want transport?<br />

I'll say<br />
<br />
take me<br />

TAKE ME<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Archipelagogo is a collection of poems, songs and stories, penned during my travels around the Indonesian Archipelago in the decade beginning 2004 (and a follow up to the <a href="http://yourparadiseormine.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/chapter-1.html">novel</a> I wrote during my Asia Link Residency in Jakarta in 2006). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Many of these love-song-poems about people, places and the complexities of cross cultural relationships, have been spoken and sung (acapella - archipela) at different times to intimate audiences at literary festivals in the Asia Pacific: Ubud Writers Festival, Utan Kayu Literary Biennale, Darwin's Wordstorm, Braidwood's Two Fires Festival, St Kilda Writers Festival, Hong Kong International Literary Festival.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">This beautifully presented book, published by <a href="http://saritaksu.com/">Saritaksu Editions</a>, is illustrated with painting by Indonesian artist Jumaadi and had its first launch at a wonderful full house cabaret performance at Bar Luna, during <a href="http://archipela-gogo.blogspot.com.au/2013_09_01_archive.html">Ubud Writers & Readers Festival</a> in October 2013, and again in New York City, July 2014, at the <a href="http://archipela-gogo.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/the-new-york-launch.html">Bowery Poetry Club</a>.</span><br />
