AB - "The Yeongsan River," as poetic mechanism, does not remain as the symbol of loss, sufferings and alienation due to historical events, but its struggling to overcome them is connected with the vitality of the public in a sound way. Because poetic speakers do not express their feelings or thoughts through the nature but they are actively involved, we can see their struggling to endure historical tragedies and pains in reality, not simple description of feelings towards the nature. Briefly, "The Yeongsan River" represents the universal emotions running through Jeollanam-do which is linked to historical memory, emotional sufferings, sadness and reminiscence and becomes a remarkable mechanism expressing the poetic imagination peculiar to people of Jeollanam-do.
To poets, "The Yeongsan River," a womb forming their poetic ego, comes in a variety of looks with tender memories in their childhood and emotions of people entangled in their lives fraught with difficulties. "The Yeongsan River," the poetic hometown to many poets, is embodied as a symbol of rescue which helps to reflect on today's life and to have courage and hope.
"The Yeongsan River" contains all the grudges of the people living near the sea who got away from the fierce life. Poets visualize common, but colorful stories of people who live on The Yeongsan River through jest and satire. So they say directtly and indirectly that the life of people contains many stories of life as various as that of the river.
Finally, the poems show sighs and tears towards the declining rural communities. They depicts the reality of rural communities that had to be alienated while the contradiction of industrialization became deepened socially and politically and today's Yeongsan River which gets ruined and contaminated due to a development ideology.
