AB - Early poetry of Lee Kwang-woong shows romantic adoration(동경) for 'fantasy' to overcome existential 'anxiety'(불안). In particular, Lee Kwang-woong uses the symbolic image of 'sunshine(light)' to erase the boundary between reality and fantasy. It is a way for Lee Kwang-woong to aesthetically resolve his ontological 'anxiety'.
His romantic worldview passes through the violence of the state power and is fatal. Lee Kwang-woong embodies such inner remarks with poetic utterances. Thus, it goes beyond the individual's romantic adoration to face the socio-historical reality and romantically projects its imaginary composition.
This view seems to be far removed from the poetic struggle that the 1980s had asked for. However, considering the 1980s when the relief of The People(민중), The Nation(민족), and The Struggle(투쟁) took precedence, Lee Kwang-woong's poetry seemed to walk silently toward the romantic longing world in self-reflection.
