This essay reminisces on Suyunomo R`s writing on the edge. In the process, this essay examines how writing and reading can be more than a private experience and provide the field of communal interaction. The new kind of writing prompted by communal reading involves the transformation of life into words and creates an ethical space. Students awaken to new sensations as they recite poetry by heart or as they read texts from literature, philosophy, history, and sociology. Through the uselessness of poetry, students experience the useful deconstruction of the self. Writing involves the distillation of experience and requires one to reflect on the chaos of everyday life. The sharing of writing allows the participants to realize the value of every piece of writing and the possibility of re-signification inherent in each existence and struggle. In that sharing, the participants experience the revolutionary potential of reading and writing.
