김구용 시에 나타난 생명에 관한 상상력

Abstract

In Kim Gu-yong's poetry, an orientation is revealed on the ideal ego and the perfect reality for the poetry composition that is pursued consistently by a poet. That is because the poet aimed to filter a yearning for the pure self as humanity through poetic experiment using a method of overcoming the abstract ideology in order to reflect the recognition of reality that is proper for a view of literature. Kim Gu-yong reproduced it as a language in diverse layers by gradually deepening tragic cognition related to reality while implementing it as a prose poem beginning from the lyrical typicality. Especially in 『Poetry(詩)』, an agony of the poet, who proceeds with living in the transitionally inexplainable reality following liberation, is being specified as tragic emotion based on darkness. The poetic perception is biased to a mental feeling of hunger such as the issues of existence and starvation along with a social confusion state. At this time, a fetish and a spirit are separated to be obviously contrasted. A desire of the poet, who wants to reach the ideal reality in the tragic reality, is delivered to a reader with a strange method such as transformation in a poetic speaker that is separated into the feckless contemporary ego and the self in longing. This is the expression of the poet who strongly reveals a wish for which the ideal ego and the world will be integrated in the wake of experiencing historial reality through the imagination on life called regeneration and transcendence.
