Soon-Won Whang(1915~2000) has been a writer whose place has been considerable important in modern and contemporary Korean literary field. He had written at the same time novels and poems for his life. In fact, fewer attentions have been given to his poetry than his literature though his poetry has been significantly important. But, in the heart of his poetry, we can meet with a world that has been able not to be seen as mere leisure but to be formed by his poetical genre, and that meeting can be a new attempt to consider an archetype of his literature. Therefore, to consider carefully his poems by classifying times of publishing them has been to show a possibility of lighting to the pattern of transfigure of his thoughts and his view of literature. The place of his poetry in his literature has been supposed from the fact that his literary works had been started from July of the year 1931 when his poem “My Dream”had been published in the magazine Dong Gwang, and that he had never given up poetry in spite of producing his poems at rare intervals while he had extended his literature to short stories and novels after that time. Nevertheless, studies and appreciations on his poetry have remained incompletely. By premising that his poetry has been very important to understand the whole aspect of his literature, this consideration has tried to explore them timely and to light to the world that he has consistently directed toward. Then his early poetry has shown his young passion and determination that had made him not only face the reality but also discover and describe a clue to be aware of our history. And it has been a new fact that a strong consciousness of the north has been discovered at the bottom of his early poetry. It has been to reflect an universal view of the world of intelligent youths in his time. But what has been exposed is the fact that an experimental world of the second poetical works of him had been very different from the world of the first poetical works of him. The highly moderate and intuitive world of the second had been associated with worlds of the Japanese haiku or of the works of the French poet Jules Renard. As easily known by the title Curios of the second, its contents have lighted to many things of everyday life by centering the native world of our nation among them. Henceforth, in raging waves of our history, his published poems had been developed as poems which had rather sung a submerged form of the reality of inner life. This could be said to be related deeply not only with his literature but also with the fact that he had distanced rigorously from literatures taking advantage of ideologies. His late poetry which has appeared to be formally different from his early or middle poetry had assumed a prose style and taken a dramatic structure to converse and harmonize with the death. This would be a natural transfiguration of all the old who has meditated on the death. But what a remarkable character of Whang alone has been that he had not compromised with the death, nor assumed a transcendental pose, but tried to a series of conversations with the consciousness of the death through his conflicts and meditations at a distance. Consequently, it has been to say that the pattern of transfigure of Whang’s poetry has largely connected with not only his poems but also his whole literature.
