In the course of a career covering five decades, Sitor Situmorang became one of Indonesia's greatest writers--journalist, translator, essayist, dramatist and prize-winning poet and author of short stories. At the same time he also taught in the National Theater Academy and edited at least four newspapers in the 1950s and 1960s. A strong supporter of President Sukarno, he served the Indonesian government in a variety of posts relating to the arts, as well as acting as chairman of the Nationalist Party's Arts Council (Lembaga Kebudayaan National) from 1959-1965. He was imprisoned under the New Order from 1967-1975. After his release, he was awarded the Jakarta Arts Council prize for poetry in 1976 and published further collections of poems and short stories
