AB - This study set out to examine poetic consciousness and masculinity in Kim Su-young's poems with the representation or voice of "father" including all of his poems that objectified "father" or spoke in the voice of father. The study focused on the poet disclosing different characteristics from masculinity required from the society of his contemporary time by keeping certain distance from hegemonic masculinity required by the times and exhibiting the cracks in it.
In Kim's early poems, father is accompanied by the act of seeing and appears as the subject and the object of introspection into oneself, one's family, and the world. In his poems written in the latter part of the 1950s, the poet depicted "father" that was incompetent as the subject of livelihood and the head of family to reveal the conflicts of living people. The words of talkativeness and silence in his Singuigeorae series, in particular, showed the conflicts of "father" as an incompetent subject of livelihood in his poems during the period and represented the passive resistance to create a crack in the hegemonic masculinity after the May 16th military coup. The poet presented the prospect of history from father to son in his poems written right after the April 19th Revolution, the ones he wrote while watching the Revolution change in its nature, and the ones in which he found the meanings of love and revolution once again after ending his seclusion after the May 16th military coup. In his The Variations of Love, he opened the possibilities of love and revolution to the subject of the future represented by son through father as the object to be overcome.
