AB - This paper considers the aspects of topophilia reflected in Baek Seok's poetry. Namely, the way his consciousness of place is realized and the relation with his poetic consciousness are mainly considered. This paper explains that the imagery of several sites and places showed in Baek Seok's poems is closely linked to the poet's consciousness as following. If Baek Seok's poems might be roughly divided into Deer and other works after Deer, the former tells the childhood in his hometown Jeongju under the folksy point of view through the imagery of places in his memory, and in the latter, poetic objects are transferred from the past to the present, from the places in his memory to those in his reality. The gaze of traveller takes the forms like wandering or travelling and shows the feeling of places reinforcing modern awareness about hometown. Baek Seok's Manchuria poems reveals the estrangement of place like the sense of loss of places or placelessness. The poet desires veritable feeling of places rooted from the inside of them, but he is not free from the placelessness not having the intimacy or existential feeling of distance. But the placelessness of Manchuria juxtaposes places of 'now and here' and those of past memory, as a result, functions as an important medium which leads the introspection of problems in reality.
