Haizi, who ended his life with suicide on the railroad at the age of 25, is a poet who implemented his unique poetic world alone without belonging to any of the existing Chinese poetry schools in the 1980s. The process that Haizi reveals self-inside through a poetic work is rather to hide self-inside paradoxically, too. Accordingly, even a work of figuring out the real intention, which is hidden in poetic dictions that he selected, will be meaningful. In this sense, this study tried to inquire into the poetic imagination and self-image that were revealed in poetry focusing on "Spring, Haizi of 10 People", which is a work of having his name as topic, with having been written at the time of suicide, among Haizi's many poetic works. In addition, it figured out Haizi's private conscious world through analyzing the poem titled "Facing the sea with spring blossoms", which was created ahead of death same as "Spring, Haizi of 10 People". Thus, the aim was to look back on significance of his death and to broaden the width of understanding about Haizi's poetry. As for Haizi, the death can be regarded as the completion of 'performance,' which is a kind of Haizi's own final art form. Hence, Haizi's suicide needs to be seen from the perspective dubbed the continuity of creation through this performance, not the discontinuance of creation caused by 'intended death' that the poet himself selected. In the wake of pursuing the poetic world of a gifted poet Haizi, who died early, that this study examined, there will be any poet of Korea who is recalled naturally. One poet will be first recalled Yi Sang, who is a poet and a novelist of having been broadly known. Another poet is overlapped Gi Hyeong-do, who had been active as a poet and a journalist of having been dead after living in the similar period to Haizi. A comparative analysis among works by these Korean and Chinese poets has similarity beyond the temporal space. A research on this is thought to have value of being considered a little more deeply and generally hereafter. Still, this study mentioned only possibility of a comparative research on this.

Seamus Heaney, a famous Irish poet after Yeats, has written some pastoral lyrics from his experiences of farm life and childhood memories. These poems, in spite of his simple overt praise of a rustic farm life, have layers of meaning with their vast allusiveness and implications. He is an extremely literary writer dealing with history from the Celtic myth and a long English literary history. Though his style reminds that of a Victorian poet through his allusions of nature, he is a modern poet of innovative skills and senses. The explication of his representative sonnet sequence, the "Glanmore Sonnets" will reveal exquisite, complicated poetics of a modern poet. The poems are basically love poems, and the love is directed to his beloved wife, his lifetime companion. The poems relate the cultivation of a land to the poet's excavating language from the classics and to the images of love making. Through a careful reading of the sonnets this article will broaden our knowledge on how a modern love lyric of layered meanings can retain the past tradition in its complicated poetics.

This paper examines the meaning and significance of the rebirths narrated in Sylvia Plath's "Lady Lazarus." While the previous readings of the poem have regarded the speaker's rebirth as a single event, this paper aims to understand its plurality and the underlying problem of language and sound by listening to the poet's own reading of the poem. I argue first that the sound structure of the poem can be characterized by the poet's unique employment of vowel sounds. Drawing upon Plath's another poem entitled "Morning Song" and Julia Kristeva's concept of the chora, I contend that the poet's vowels signal her desire for regression to the pre-Oedipal space where sound and body are in direct contact without the interference of language. It is my conclusion that the rebirths in "Lady Lazarus" dramatize the poet's ongoing struggle to bypass the symbolic language in order to make her body heard.

Chung Ji Yong is a well-known poet in the Japanese Occupation Period firstly as a lyrical and traditional poet as a member of the literary journal Simunhak(Poetry Literature) along with Park Yong Chul and Kim Young Rang and later as a prominent modernist poet in the late years of the Period. He is always highly estimated as a poet of pictorial images and lyricism, but his ardor for translations, especially Walt Whitman has been neglected so far. Before him, Ju Yohan, Yi Kwang Soo, Yi Un Sang, Kim Hyung Won and many other poets and critics had been interested in Whitman's democratic ideas and his poems. Chung Ji Young also translated Whitman's three poems in the hard days of 1930s. After the Imperial Japan surrendered to the Allied forces on 15 August 1945, ending 35 years of Japanese occupation, Korea was under the American forces and Russian troops. In this critical days of Korean's debating only one korea or separated Koreas, strangely enough, Chung ji Yong fully immersed in translating Whitman's poems only for four years as an English literature professor just before being abducted by North Korean Army, while almost discarding his own poetic ability and sense of duty as a leading poet in the literary circle with only just a few exceptions. Why did Chung Ji Yong focused on the translation of Whitman's poems in this important period as a poet and intellectual in the newly independent country? He may want to warn people too much ideological conflicts or at least express his frustration through translating Whitman's poems. Until now, academic endeavors on Chung Ji Yong's poems and life are focused on his lyrical and modernistic works of the Japanese Occupation Period and naturally little interested in the days of Independence period and his true motivations on translating Whitman's poems. As a proposal, this short article can be a minor trigger for the sincere efforts of Chung Ji Yong's last days.

조지훈은 해방 이후 한용운에 대한 인식을 주도적으로 생산한 논자이다. 그는 한용운을 민족시인으로, 그의 시를 저항적 민족시의 한 전형으로 평가함으로써 한용운에 대한 현재적 인식의 시각과 방법을 제시하였다. 여기에서는 조지훈이 남긴 세 편의 '한용운론'을 분석하면서, 한용운에 대한 조지훈의 인식이 어떻게 논리화되었는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 시인론과 작품론에 대한 인식을 분리하고, 각각의 인식이 조지훈의 역사인식 및 문학인식과 어떤 정합성을 갖는지에 대해 추적해 보았다. 그 결과, 조지훈이 한용운의 생애와 작품을 파악하는 인식의 근저에는 정신사로서의 세계인식이 전제되어 있었다는 점, 절대가치로 상정된 민족이 이질적인 차이들을 봉합하는 논리였다는 점, 민족정신과 시의 결합이 시인지사론(詩人志士論)과 민족시의 논리로 표출되었다는 점을 파악할 수 있었다. 또한 그의 논리에는 인권과 민족주권의 결합, 민족과 선(禪)의 결합으로 인한 논리적 균열이 내재해 있으며, 시인의 사명에 대한 다른 가능성이 충분히 논리화되지 못한 채 미완인 채로 논의가 끝나버렸음을 밝혔다.

아리스토텔레스는 시란 독자로 하여금 행복을 줄 수 있고, 치료적 효과를 안겨줄 수 있는 것으로 말한다. 그는 이것을 고유한 형상을 복원한다는 의미로 재현再現이라고 하였다. 이에 칸트는 재현뿐 아니라 미학으로 표현되는 시에는 자유가 있어야 더 격상된 것이라고 보았다. 그의 미감적 판단의 독특성을 '지성과 상상력의 자유로운 유희의 결과'라고 하였다. 칸트의 말은 예술적 창조의 정신이 사람이 행할 수 있는 도덕적 이념과 결합하는 데서 최고의 즐거움을 맛볼 수 있다고 한 것이다. 필자는 이에 독자의 입장에서 소통과 유희를 더해야 한다고 여긴다. 왜냐하면 시는 행복과 자유를 위해서 그 밑바탕에 소통과 유희가 어우러져야하기 때문이다.

This paper focuses on eighteenth-century English pastor, poet, and hymnist, Isaac Watts (1674-1748), a significant yet neglected nonconformist dissenter, who defines a public religion and transforms poetry as a new literary political genre. During England's post-Revolutionary religio-political turmoil, Watts's poem, "The Hurry of the Spirits, in a Fever and Nervous Disorders" (1734), deliberately engages in a methodical refusal to settle upon a single system of images or terms for describing or referring to the speaker's identity or situation. Watts's, literal and metaphoric, refusal to identify with one religio-political approach to nonconformist dissent has been the very point of criticism that not only undermines the poet's monumental work on hymns but also the lasting impact that the poet had upon England's national consciousness. This study, therefore, questions why the poet refuses to choose one ideal path in his pursuit for religious freedom and, further, analyzes how the hymn writer defends his demotic aesthetics. This paper investigates Watts's comprehensive and detailed formulation of what a secularized "social religion" should entail and, further, explores its beneficial role in the pursuit for society's peace. In contrast to Milton's apocalyptic vengeance, Watts's nonconformist goal seeks to balance and locate authority in the individual with the ancient ideal of a "sacred order" that is represented in "The Hurry of the Spirits" through the means of poetic imagination.

My essay aims at reading Ginsberg's "Howl" and "Kaddish" with the concept of 'shaman-prophet-poet' to illustrate the dynamic relationship between his poetics and radical politics. Throughout his widely-ranging career, Ginsberg represents himself as a poet-prophet and commands a typical rhetoric of revelation as a way of decentering Cold War orthodoxies. While well aware of the oppressive and pervasive power of the dominant post-war ideologies, he adopts 'madness' to oppose conventional political, social, and religious institutions; by way of entering into the madness of this world and actively engaging himself as a victim, he can finally heal both himself and the world. This dual function of poet characterizes his rhetoric of revelation, but it doesn't appeal to the mainstream of American critical ideology where the post-structural approach to language and subject gives a skeptical look at any account of active human agency and humanistic belief in the possibility of language. In "Howl" and "Kaddish," Ginsburg persuades the reader of the truth of his own vision through the convincing and realistic portraits of his contemporaries as well as his own mother and family. Different from his visionary predecessors such as Emerson and Whitman, Ginsberg knew the difficulty of a negotiation between history and divine vision, and attempted to imbricate his family, friends, and even the larger social and political units within his visionary experience in order to avoid naive idealism, escapism, or solipsism. Furthermore, he deconstructs the Logos of Western prophecy and replaces it with the groundless identity and the nontheistic epistemology of Buddhism, which, in turn, leads to emptying his powerful language of absolutist meaning and prevents his prophecy from becoming re-reified as divine essentialism. Ginsberg's idea of poet and poem revitalizes the skeptical view on language and literary representation of our contemporary critical community which is unwilling to engage the experimental scope of his radical prophecy.

이 글은 현대시조의 다양한 주제 양식에 대한 관심에서 시작하여 시조의 제재를 시인의 자아, 혹은 인간사의 내면에 깃든 근원적 문제에 천착해 주제로 형상화한 작품을 세 가지 영역으로 나누어 살펴보았다. 첫째, 자아성찰과 시인의 자의식과 시인의식을 주제로 다룬 시조에는 메타시조 형식의 시, 시 쓰기에 대한 '시론'격의 작품 등이 있다. 시인 자신이 자아에 대한 인식이 치열할수록 현실적 자아와 이상적 자아 사이의 갈등을 통해 '부끄러움'을 느끼지만 이를 극복하고 의미 있는 시를 창작하고자 하는 진지한 자세와 시인의식 이 주제로 표출된다. 둘째, 인간이 직면할 수밖에 없는 죽음의 문제를 다룬 시조는 죽음의 타나톱시스(Thanatopsis: 사관(死觀))를 표현한다 그러나 죽음에 대한 철학적 성찰과 깊은 담론보다는 직정적인 감정과 죽음에 대한 단상들이 표현되고 있어 이러한 주제에 대한 형상화는 운문보다는 산문의 영역에서 보다 효과적으로 표현될 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 죽음에 관한 다양한 제재가 시조의 영역에서 주제화되는 것은 현실적 삶의 태도를 돌아보고, 생의 깊은 이면에 깃들인 인간의 본질적 문제에 관심을 갖게 한다는 점에서 의미 있는 일이다. 셋째, 인간과 신에 대한 근원적 문제를 제기하는 주제의식은 주로 기독교적 세계관을 토대로 창작된 작품을 통해 나타난다. 이러한 주제를 다루는 시조의 경우 속악하고 부조리한 현실의 삶을 방관하는 신의 의지에 대한 항의와 불만, 이기적 욕망으로 인해 고뇌하는 인간의 모습을 그리고 있다 그럼에도 불구하고 기독교적 사유를 바탕으로 쓰인 시조에는 역설적으로 신의 섭리에 대한 순명이 나타난다. 이러한 유형의 시조는 기독교 세계관과 종교적 신앙을 주제로 표현할지라도 시인이 지닌 자유로운 시 정신과 창작태도가 있다면 생경한 종교적 언어에 함몰되지 않고. 호교적 신앙시로 축소되지 않을 수 있다는 가능성을 보여준다. 위에서 살펴본 몇 가지 주제들은 우리 시조의 관심을 피상적인 현실의 문제를 넘어 생의 깊은 국면으로 전환해 그 이면에 깃들인 인간의 자아의식과 고독, 삶과 죽음, 절대적 존재에 대한 물음 등을 다루고 있다는 점에서 시인의식의 지평을 넓히고 현대시조의 주제 의식을 심화하고 있음을 알 수 있다.
