Leni Marlina's Poems Collection "The Longing on the Homeland"

This collection of poems was initially written in both Indonesian and English by Leni Marlina as her personal hobby and collection from 2011 to 2013. She wrote these poems while she was studying for her postgraduate degree in Melbourne and during her participation as a speaker at the International Conference on ACLAR (Australian Children's Literature Association for Research) in Canberra, Australia.

The poems were later revised and first published digitally in 2024. The Indonesian version of the poem can be freely accessed on Indonesian online media below:
