"It is in this spiritual journey that Sitor has finally come to terms to his own life and his search for existence. He has found existence – the existence of the universe as a whole."
- The Jakarta Post -
“… his poetry is interesting for its profound engagement in developing a new use of language, synthetic and proud. "Always, Sitor’s poems are pregnant with high-voltage emotions which discharge energy by means of language.”
- Guiliana Malpezzi, University of Milano, Italia -
“Sitor has lived so long, so fully, so intensely, and written so wonderfully, that to read his work is to find ourselves suddenly open to deeper currents of life which flow within all of us but are seldom plumbed so deeply.”
- Harry Aveling, La Trobe University, Australia.
