오규원 동시의 ‘ 날이미지’적 특성과 자연 인식 연구—오규원 동시집 『나무 속의 자동차』를 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to looks at Oh Gyu Won’s 『Car in the Tree』, a collection of his children’s poems, through ‘Raw Image Poetics.’ It also analyzes how images of nature, important poetic subjects in his early and later poems, are expressed in his children’s poems. As is well known, Oh Kyu Won is a modernist poet, and in his later days, worked to explore the essential natures of his subjects through ‘Raw Image Poetics.’ He looked at objects not as significates perceived in its relation to human beings but through their essential natures. Oh Gyu Won’s poems for children are similar to the ‘Raw Image Poetics’ that he aimed for in his later years. These poems did not interpret and make judgments on subjects and events. As in ‘Raw Image Poetics,’ Oh Gyu Won’s poems for children looks and aims to ecreate the essence natures of poetic subjects. Oh Kyu Won’s poems for children do not adopt an enlightening attitude or attempt to interpret the world. Like ‘Raw Image Poetics,’ his poems simply presents a new world based on the essential natures of subjects. Als, through ‘Raw Images,’ his poems display the extremes of transparent language, and his poems for children work to only display the essential natures of subjects and events. Oh Kyu Won’s poems for children actively display an interest and feeling for nature. It could be that perception of nature is not special in children’s poems. However, Oh Kyu Won’s nature has a different aspect than the usual nature, perceived as a subject of beauty and comfort. He shunned perceiving nature through its relation with human beings and worked to look at nature’s essence. Oh Kyu Won’s perception of nature appears in his children’s poems. Nature in his children’s poems are similar not to the tragic nature of his early years but to the nature of his later years, closer to its essence through the language of ransparency. Oh Kyu Won is a poet whose modernist aspect has been emphasized, but he also displays great skill in his interest and perception of nature. The perception of nature shown in his children’s poems combine with characteristics of ‘Raw Image Poetics’ to form a poetic world with greater depth.
