- Abstract
' See how each fits into the other ': Landscape , body and visual in some poems of Johann de Lange. In this article we investigated the function of landscape and the visual in Johann de Lange's poetry as well as the bond or connectedness between body and landscape. The multiple functions of landscape in De Lange's oeuvre as well as the concomitant visual disposition amongst selected key poems from recent volumes are investigated by using relevant theoretical concepts (mainly as discussed by Wylie 2007). De Lange also gleans from the phenomenological school of thought in which vision and body, body and landscape are closely interwoven. He also makes use of other trends such as new materialism and ecological thought. Consequently it is shown that the coexistence of body and landscape can be closely connected with relationality. The poetical process and the manner in which body and landscape serve as inspiration for the poetical writing are explored with special reference to voyeurism and the erotic landscape.
