The central symbol here is 'blot' which takes on complex and fascinating meanings in this rich collection of 42 poems. At a time when concerns for the environment increasingly receive global attention, the collection expresses and problematises the way in which the environment in particular and the landscape in general are treated. The poet decries the fact that there is filth everywhere; in man's thoughts, psyche and behaviour and nobody seems to care. Seen from this angle, human beings themselves seem to constitute the major blot on the landscape. 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$vPoetry 606 $aEnvironmentalism$vPoetry 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on 615 0$aEnvironmentalism 676 $a811.54 700 $aNgong Kum Ngong$b John$01611738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809210803321 996 $aBlot on the landscape$94108589 997 $aUNINA
