AB - Choi Seung-Ja started her literary career through writing ‘Love of this
time’ and four other poems in quarterly publication magazine ‘literature and
intelligence’ in 1979. She has been considered a poet who opened a new
prospect in the field of poetic expression by making a new attempt through
abandoning the existing female poets’ traditional lyric expression and
suggesting a new viewpoint on facing the facts. The purpose of this
study is to help understand Choi Seung-Ja’s poems through studying death
and alienation expressed in her poems. Her representative writing methods
are as follows.
First, she uses the image of death to depict love. She makes use of the
detailed death image to bring the memory of already-gone painful love to
the present. She also calls attention to the meaning of love which is painful
but still ongoing by regenerating the present aspects of love as factual and
detailed image.
Second, she incarnates the consciousness of poems by the image of
body. One of the remarkable features which appear in Choi’s poems is to express her vision of poems through physical thought and image about
bodies. As for a poet, a body is not outward appearance of the mind, but
concrete reality on which life is based. We cannot communicate with the
outer world without through bodies. Choi regards a body as truth which
cannot be erased and the only way to meet the world. A poet deepens the
reality of truth which he or she desires by the use of body image.
Third, she deepens themes using the negative speech. In many cases,
poets describe ironically the tragic awareness of the present situation and
existence, which is a way of exaggerating the poetic meaning effectively
by opposite expressions of what they really want to say. Choi not only
accepts this ironical expression as an antinomic statement but also reflects
her attitude toward life in which she wants to get over such a confusing
situation.
I hope this study of Choi Seung-Ja’s methods of expressing the
consciousness of poems will help understand poets’ mind.
