This thesis has been designed to figure out the source of consciousness of absence found in Lee Ga-rim’s poems. As a poet in the 1960’s, he accepted the exotic atmosphere due to the political despair resulted from the establishment of the military regime. His way of responding to it seemed to be alienated from the reality mingled with his sentiment in youth, but it was really the expression of resistance against the political situation in Korea. However, he did recall the spirit of April 19 Democratic Revolution and replaced the sentiment with historicity. Lee Ga-rim’s consciousness of history consists of two things: his personal longing and sorrow. In his poems, sorrow can be often detected as it is defined as the object of aesthetic existence. And sorrow appears along with longing. In the point that longing is an emotional response to the absence of an object, longing internalized in his poems is the phenomenon resulted from the absence of emotional exchange. He does cure this absence of communication with poetic moderation. Longing that is empowered by this becomes the very act that a being proves absence. In Lee Ga-rim’s poems, the phenomenon of absence is pervasive. It was generated in connection with his family history, political situations in Korea, his stay in France for studying, or the alienation of his home. The consciousness of absence that is attributed to those external conditions appears very frequently in his poems. With this absence, he confirms his self-identity and realizes the substance of lyrical truth mingled with sorrow and longing. In other words, his consciousness of absence is the very poetic struggle to return to ‘innocent ruins’.
