One of the strengths of writers is to create aesthetics and distinctive identity by using language. One of the ways is through making linguistic deviation. The purpose of this study is to find out the morphological deviation with prefix omission in the poetry book “O, Amuk, Kapak” by Sutardji Calzoum Bachri. In this study, the researchers applied the qualitative method with an interactive-patterned data analysis consisting of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions & verification. Results showed that in the poetry book “O, Amuk, Kapak”, Sutardji Calzoum Bachri used three forms of morphological deviation with prefix omission, namely the omission of the prefixes me-, ber-, and ter-. These deviations were deliberately carried out by Sutardji Calzoum Bachri for several purposes. The first is to generate aesthetic sounds (rhymes and rhythms). The second is to give the reader impression as an aesthetic marker (literary stylistics). At last, the third is to serve as a marker for indicating the existence of the author and his works.
