 Following an extended stay in the United States he published a collection of poems entitled "Saldju" (Snow) in 1966.The poems in this collection deal with questions of life and death, and of the need for "something to hold on to in an existence threatened on all sides", and have been described as altogether more restrained than those in his earlier work.Additional works published since 1966 include "Daerab Perbatasan" (Border Region) (1970), "Keroncong Motinggo" (Montinggo's Song) (1975), "Buku Harian" (Diary), "Hari dan Hara" (1979)"Simphoni Dua" (1990), and several books of literary criticism.
