해방기 신석정의 방황과 시적 편력

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence on the transitional process of Shin, Seog-jeong's poetry. He is one of the representative pastoral poets. He was highly recognized in the world of poetry in the beginning with his pastoral poems excluding political implications. However, with the advent of liberation, Shin, Seog-jeong changed shockingly. As he was participating actively in literary activities initiated by the left, he was taken to do forced labor during the Korean War. His past gave him severe confusion with the changes of political topography after that. In his wonderful transformation, there was the influence of his brother and friends behind. Because of that, Shin, Seog-jeong suffered from serious scars inside instead of being silent about his behavior from the liberation period to the war. The world he faced as a result was the Oriental nature. This is the causality that he returned to the Oriental nature in his old age at last which he had excluded in the starting point at the first place. In his poem, the medium that connects 'Bisabeolchosa' and 'Cheongguwon' is the 'Daebaramsori' heard straightly from the vacant inner side. The sound was the struggle of solitary existence coming from the loneliness frozen deeply in his abyss. In this aspect, during the liberation period, Shin, Seog-jeong's ideological wandering was enough to let him know the illusion and truth of the 'strange land' that was estranged from life. Until he realized this point, he repeated the poetic involvement for his entire life.
