Abstract

Poet Lee Hyeongki has created a world of poem with his uniquegrammar and fresh images. His aggressive poem spirit that is shownfrom the analysis is equivalent to painful permeation through cold objectsand phenomenon. This thesis focuses on his subject consciousness andembodiment of senses. He established his notion of poem as the vision of process. Selfawarenessof a poem is expressed as a desperate dream. Therefore,cacophony with the inevitable world has to be on the premise. He seesthrough the world with deep insight of anguish and shows sharp images. The subject is incarnated by a way of direct speech and it expands thecomprehensive meaning of the subject and such emotions likedisharmony, contradiction, despair, falsehood are embodied by usingserious and vivid images. Also by using grammar that overcomes a limitand shows immortality and borrowing according images, he expresses asolemn image of a poem with a clear insight. It promotes a poetic escapefrom recognition of reality that anxiety of extinction resulted fromlimitation can be a part of hallucination, and from a sense of grief or futility brought by the reality. And it helps readers to confront the limit ofovercome and it incessantly guides the sense that elaborates aboutimmortality which is more than just a limit. On one hand, the focus of the poem consciousness is expanded into anextraneous intuition and then expressed as a cold-hearted reaction. Inside a painful sense of consciousness resulted from awareness, anextraneous image formed by a strange penetration keeps bringing aboutan association that calls in creative thinking. The poet creates a peculiardynamic world with an exotic identity expansion of a sense andpromotion of delaying thinking. He embraces it as an active subjectaccepted by irregularity and dissolution, not an objective result’s passiveawareness produced by time and space order. This is his fundamentalpoem spirit and acts as an important tool for poem imagery. Andtechniques and criteria do not go beyond a certain limit and are appliedto a poem effectively. The elements show sharp characteristics. Cold andnegative images such as animosity, anger, murderous intent, death areused as main elements. Due to his poetic attitude, elements that aresuppressed in our daily lives turn into something meaningful. Itcontemplates relations of poetic world that give different images andfeelings, thus creating meanings. Also the consciousness of poem develops into deep contemplation aboutdeficit-orientation. A dream, so-called vision of process as a poetic study,is a limit of reality and deficit which is a complex. The poet’s deficitorientedaspiration is built on the foundation of processing as one of waysto understand the world. In his poem, the vocabularies that are used assubject-oriented key words such as futility, desperation, solitude,destruction are produced from the deficit. Holding on to and becomingobsessed with these is a sort of effort that is made in order to reach the absoluteness of a dream. It becomes his another pride and it is fulfillmentof carrying out the poet and poem’s bonafide conditions. However, theprocess is equal to worry, frustration, and heartbreak. It is finding thecorridor of existence, and at the same time it’s bring about the fruit ofsincere creation. The poet’s consciousness of aim is introspection aboutunderstanding human existence.
