Penelitian ini mencoba menyajikan suatu biografi dari seorang penulis, Kirdjomuljo (1930-2000) yang terkenal luas sebagai penyair, penulis lakon dan penulis novel. Di samping itu, ia juga dikenal sebagai seorang pelukis yang sudah menghasilkan 40 lukisan. Untuk melaksanakan penelitian, penulis melakukan penelitian kepustakaan dan melakukan interview dengan bsberapa orang dan tokoh yang dipandang memaharni Kirdjomuljo. Dalam menyajikan keseluruhan hasil penelitian, penulis mengikuti suatu pedoman yang telah ditunjukkan oleh Ted Schwarz dalam bukunya yang berjudul The Complete Guide to Writing Biographies yang didalamnya menganjurkan penulis untuk menelusuri riwayat hidupnya dari rnasa kanak-kanak hingga tutup usia. Latar sosidl dan budayajuga diikutsertakan dalam analisis untuk melihat bahwa latar belakang itu telah ikut rnenopang daya cipta dan daya olahnya semasa hidupnya. Kirdjomuljo, seperti dikatakan oleh hampir semua responden, termasuk pengarang kelompok tahun 1950-an. Akan tetapi, ia terus menulis hingga akhir hayatnya. Puisinya banyak dibacakan pada lomba deklamasi dan pembacaan sajak; beberapa di antaranya diset dalam lagu oleh FX. Soetopo dan dinyanyikan pada lomba menyanyi lagu-lagu seriosa secara nasional. Lakon-lakonnya banyak dimainkan pada tahun 1950-an dan tahun 1960-an. Beberapa di antaranya di sutradarai oleh almarhum Umar Kayam. Lukisan karya IGrdjomuljo dapat ciikatakan sebagai hiasan, namun memiliki makna sastrawi. Ia menghabiskan banyak waktunya di tengah satu komunitas yang dikenal dengan nama “ Sanggar Bambu, 1959”. Di sana, ia berbagi pengalaman dengan teman-temannya: penyair, pencipta lagu, pelukis, aktor, sutradara, penulis lakon dan penulis cerita pendek. Interaksi estetik ini dapat dikatakan mematangkan bakatnya sehingga ia menjadi sastrawan terkemuka. Penelitian ini akhirnya juga mencoba mengungkap aspek kesenirupaan yang tersirat pada karya-karya puisi, lakon, dan novelnya. Ini menunjukkan bahwa karya sastranya menyajikan citra kesenirupaan sedangkan karya seni rupanya membisikkan suara lembut dari puisi-puisinya.
