Toni Pollard, a teacher of Indonesian language in Australia since 1967, took up literary translation on her retirement from the University of Western Sydney in 2004. Working mostly with the Jakarta-based Lontar Foundation and the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival in Bali, Toni’s translations include many novels and short story collections by both emerging Indonesian writers and well-known authors such as NH Dini, Hanna Rambe, and Clara Ng.
