이시영 시의 서사성과 서정성 - 시집 『하동』을 중심으로

Abstract

The 39 short poems and 49 prose poems in the Lee Si-young’s 14th collection of poems, “Hadong”, differ in external forms, but all have certain characteristics of lyric poetry. Although the narrativity in forms of narration and the lyricism in short poems are classified broadly, they are not contradictory to each other. Those are showing that the narrative and lyricism are expanding into a larger category of lyricism. Like this, the essential characteristic of “Hadong” which is distinguished from other poems, is that narrativity and lyricism are evenly distributed in the long and short poems. In order to understand these poetic characteristics in detail, this paper examines by categorizing epic lyric poetry which include the narrative content and lyrical lyric poetry which doesn’t include the narrative content. As the epic lyrical poetry has the form of content and substance of content, the lyrical lyric poetry in “Hadong” has the form of expression and substance of expression. The contents and expressions are mutually premise rather than confrontational. Those are born into a lyric poem in an organic and dynamic movement. In this regard, it is confirmed again that the external aspect cannot form the essence of poetic characteristics. In the Lee Si-young's lyric poetry, the constant is poetic “leap and takeoff”, not a difference in external form. In his poetic world, the gap between the epic lyrical poetry revealed in the form of recalling the memory and the lyrical lyric poetry with bold condensation which only leave the moment of takeoff seems to be disappeared by the nature of the lyric poetry itself.
