In this research, critical data on climate change is the most dominant. There are several titles that contain criticism of climate change, including: (a) Hari yang Tak Bermusim, (b) Kampung Halaman, (c) Suara Burung yang Murung, (d) Berjalan ke Barat Kembali ke Timur, (e) Desa-desa yang Tak Lagi Berkisah, (f) Tempat yang Dirahasiakan, and (g) Kamus Baru. Through ecological criticism it can be seen that the poet has sensitivity to environmental problems that arise around the poet.
