Abstract

This research has a purpose to analyze the space in whole poems of Jeong, Ho-Seung, examine the relations between the space and changes in his world of poetry and consider his inward consciousness and view of the world. I think that the discussion of the space in his poems is necessary to understand his creative consciousness and poetry world, because the space is the essence of his poems. The nature objects of the poetry of Jeong, Ho-Seong is acted as a constituent of poetry and poets sang as a homogeneous community with both humans and nature. In other words, Jeong, Ho-Seong released poems that sought emotional harmony through empathy of humans and nature. This means that the poet is heading toward a childlike world of harmony between humans and nature. The space of nature and childhood in poems of Jeong, Ho-Seung is subdivided in to the space of life characteristics and the space of fairy-tale imagination. In his works, there are many poems about the nature and natural objects, and he aimed the world which the nature and human can coexisted on equal terms. In the space of life characteristics, objectified creatures are very impressive though they are very insignificant. In the huge space of the earth, he thought that human should coexist with creatures as human cannot live alone. The space of creature is forest, river, sea, on the road and etc. And the core of the space of fairy-tale imagination is the innocence of childhood, and human has a protoplasm to return the space of childhood. Fairy-tale imagination is one of devices which he can approach to readers and he wrote many poems based on fairy-tale imagination. The space to realize fairy-tale imagination is alley, front yard, mother’s breast, sea and etc. His childhood world based on fairy-tale imagination enriches his poetry world. Until now, many researches has discussed about poetry world and methodology of Jeong Ho-Seung’s poetry relatively, however, there are few researches about his literary space. Therefore, this research has a significance to make an attempt to approach the spatial research in his poetry.
