Tak banyak perempuan penyair yang saya baca karya-karyanya, satu dari sedikit itu, ya Mbak Helvy. Mungkin subjektif ya, secara saya sudah lama kenal beliau, tapi gaya puisi-puisi yang Mbak Helvy tulis memang gaya yang saya suka. Bukan syair dengan kalimat berbunga-bunga sehingga kadang sulit menangkap makna tersiratnya. Puisi-puisi Mbak Helvy menggunakan kata-kata yang tajam dan bernas. Sebagian besar bergelora, seperti sosok Mbak Helvy itu sendiri :D

Favorit saya dalam kumpulan puisi ini adalah Keumalahayati. Coba simak satu bait pertama:

Aku perempuan badai
tubuhku adalah senjata
laut merah biru
yang memburumu

Perempuan badai... bergelora sekali bukan diksi yang Mbak Helvy gunakan?

Meski ada beberapa puisi yang terlalu puisi, hehe (baca: harus baca beberapa kali baru bisa mengangkap maknanya), secara umum ciri khas Mbak Helvy makin kuat.

Oh ya, ada puisi tamu juga di buku ini. Karena buku ini diniatkan sebagai komplementer untuk film Duka Sedalam Cinta, maka beberapa pemeran dalam film tersebut menyumbang puisi. Hamas "Mas Gagah" Syahid, Aquino "Dek Manis" Umar, Izzah Ajrina, Masaji, dan tentu, Salim A. Fillah dengan syair yang lumayan panjang.

Buku ini, mungil tapi isinya keren. Puisi-puisi yang ditulis oleh Mba Helvy, seorang dosen Sastra dan Kakak dari penulis Mba Asma Nadia ini begitu dalam dan indah ❤️ Dengan berbagai tema dalam puisinya, saya seakan diajak menyelami bait demi bait yang tertuang dalam tulisannya. Dari puluhan puisi yang ditulisnya, favorit saya puisi di halaman 52-53, berjudul:

“PELAJARAN CINTA DALAM DELAPAN SEMESTER”
