A collection of poems entitled " Cermin Lain di Balik Pintu Lamin, Wajah Terkini Puisi Kalimantan Timur (Another mirror behind laminated doors: the current face of East Kalimantan poetry) " which was published collaboratively by a group of youths from Samarinda City, East Kalimantan, in Balikpapan City, Wednesday (15/3/2023).

There is no difference between the Mahakam River and a highway. We have boarded “vessels” on both it. There is no difference between a coal mine and a highway. We've all heard their loud, rushing sound!

Maybe these are the common pictures, or even the deepest core, shared by a number of people who live along the Mahakam River in East Kalimantan.
