1950년대 모더니즘시의 서정성

Abstract

In th 50'th - especially after Korean war, there was a high demand for new lyric in our poetry world compared with other times. Modernism poets responded to such demands more than traditional lyric poets. I, in this paper, studied a new lyricism showing in Kim Sooyoung's poems & Park Inhwan's poems who were leading modernists in the 50'th. We have been able to discuss the lyricism without taking rhythm and meter in mind as the concept of lyricism experienced new changes after 20'th century. Especially, image replaces rhythm in modernism poetry. Poetry-reaching to the level of prose which excluded rhythm and meter and breaked old custom of lyric that should be short- took root in lyric area. Narrative trends of Park Inhwan's poems and Kim Sooyoung's poems could be understood in such a viewpoint. In part, social and political situations with current problems were shown in traditional lyric. However, recognizing on severe social problems was not a typical trend of traditional lyric. The participating function of poem in social problems were strengthened in a modernism poetry in the 50'th. Park Inhwan's poems and Kim Sooyoung's poems were the ones that related with the demand of expanding lyricism. Modernist in the 50'th created a new kind of lyricism which was a poetry showing city life as it repelled to the traditional lyricism and maintained urban sensibility. Park Inhwan's poems and Kim Sooyoung's poems digested urban lyricism in a creative poetic technique. As the urban has gone into be complicated and it created with a great deal of forms and techniques, in special, new techniques tried by Kim Sooyoung has influenced many poets.
