Rising industry of ‘poetry influencers’


Words of wisdom: One of the poems posted on the Puisidisenja Instagram page. It translates as ‘God is never wrong, we just can’t accept it yet.’ — The Jakarta Post/ANN

AJENG Larasati and Dinda Darmawan might look like two ordinary best friends. But these 20-year-old college students are actually the personalities behind one of the most influential poetry accounts on Instagram, Sesakata.

Sesakata is an alternative art platform for those who wish to share and enjoy stories of daily life through writing and painting. The pair started the account in July 2018.

The account’s name, Sesakata, is a play on words. Sesak can both mean “dense” and “tightness in the chest”, while kata is simply “words”.
