AB - Albeit being close to the tip of the tongue, the sense of smell is alien to language and often defies description. Yet olfactory descriptions are a much more power tool to conjure up images and emotions than descriptions of the other senses. The topic of olfaction in Yu Kwang-chung’s poems is a whole new area of research on the sensual qualities of his poems, and calls for the need, in interpreting his poems, to extract oneself from the confines of “the erotic body”, “power body”, and to correct the notions of “the lower part of the body”, “eroticized” and “grotesque”. Based on Bachelard’s poetic theory, this article analyses the positive imagery of smell in Yu’s poems centred round Scent of Earth, and explores the reverie of a tender world that reveals itself in his poems.
