ABSTRACT

This study approaches Anthology of Coal Mine Poems within the framework of regional literature. Typical poems of such kind are characterized by predominant notion rather than dominant form. An unconventional form, symbolical poetic words, and structural elaborateness are found only in the works of some poets. ‘Coal mine poems’ are not reserved exclusively for those who experienced coal mining. Nevertheless, genuine agents of coal mine poems should be coal mine workers and residents. This is the very reason why such poems should be ascribed to ‘regional literature’. It is deemed appropriate for such poems to focus on creating poetic images rather than depicting reality in an abstract way. Poetry communicates abstract sense through something specific, namely, images, rather than through abstraction. More serious and continuous research must be sought through Anthology of Coal Mine Poems.
