"The Yaslehs
Since 1968, when his first poem Sebuah Sumpah Derhaka was published in Majalah Mastika, our dad, yassinsalleh, has written voraciously, but at the same time is so disorganized that we could hardly keep track of what he has written. It is even worse now that he writes his poems in his phone and sms it to us his children. Believe you me, he spent a lot of money on smsing long poem to us that is sometimes lost to accidental deleting. So we, his three children - Yasleh Rita Ayu, Yasleh Hani Wati, and Yasleh Khaliff Amri - decided that enough is enough, we need to keep some kind of record of his poetry, thus the creation of this blog. This will be a cache to collect all his old poems and a safe to keep all his future ones. In the film world, mentioning my dad's name will immediately brings to mind his 10 awards winning film Dia Ibuku in which he personally won 2 - Best Director and Best Screenplay- but in the literary world the poem ikan-ikan di kaca is synonymous to him, hence the name of this blog.
ikan-ikan di kaca (buat adik-adikku tom dan ani)
pun mentari sudah tiada api dan bulan yang merdu sudah sejuk nyanyinya di hujung jari jemari embun kita masih belum terlalu lewat untuk menerima satu hakikat
ia, kita anak-anak satu keturunan yang menganuti escapisme selama ini hanyalah ikan-ikan di kaca ia ikan-ikan di kaca.
ikan-ikan di kaca indah alamnya ikan-ikan di kaca gemulai renangnya ikan-ikan di kaca manja hidupnya ikan-ikan di kaca terpenjara sebenarnya.
tidak lama lagi embun akan kering dan mentari berapi kembali kuharap kalian sudah mengerti bahawa kita selama ini hanyalah ikan-ikan di kaca esok masihkah kita ikan-ikan di kaca?
