His poetic world started from the gaze into his own existential pain and has steadily expanded into the affirmation of the Other and insight into contemporary society.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Eom was born in Daegu during the early summer of 1955. He made a literary debut in 1978, but did not engage in literary activities in earnest until 1990, when he, under the pen name of Eom Won-tae, published \u201cNamuneun wae jugeoseodo sseureojiji anneunga\u201d (\ub098\ubb34\ub294 \uc65c \uc8fd\uc5b4\uc11c\ub3c4 \uc4f0\ub7ec\uc9c0\uc9c0 \uc54a\ub294\uac00 How Come Trees Do Not Fall Even after Death?) and four other poems.[2] Eom has been writing poetry while maintaining his main career as a professor of landscape architecture. Perhaps for this reason, his poems frequently feature natural objects.In 1987, Eom was diagnosed with chronic renal failure, which had been the greatest influence on his life and literary works. He had to visit the hospital three times a week for 25 years to receive renal dialysis.[3]Writing[edit]Early works       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Eom\u2019s early poetic works are arid observations of objects that are going out of existence. In Chimyeopsurimeseo (1991), the poet repeatedly illustrates desolate natural environments, including a sunset field, a landscape where endlessly manufactured goods are abandoned and strewn around as debris, and the death of entities symbolized as a father and a young poet. Extinction, ruins, and poetic introspection on death discloses the myth of contemporary capitalism, and at the same time, serves as an allegory of our age that reveals the desolation of the future.In Soeube daehan bogo (1995), \u201csmall town\u201d is where all things rot and perish. The poet\u2019s eyes, which gaze at spaces filled only with boredom and loneliness, remain indifferent.[4] Furthermore, the poetic self, who struggles with the agonizing pain of his sick body and the resulting discord with his mind, exists at the outer limit of his life. Even though the poetic self falls into a sense of life\u2019s meaninglessness, of despair, and of futility, he nevertheless objectively examines his fight against his illness by relying on the power of reason. In particular, what he has discovered from his illness is the irony of human desire. According to Eom\u2019s diagnosis, our contemporary society is addicted to consumption due to limitless desire, yet it has lost its purification capability, just like the poet who desires to relentlessly eat and drink but cannot discharge urine.[5] He argues that what we need in such contemporary life is just to bear with it. He stresses that what\u2019s important is to endure and find beauty within boredom, just as the poetic self has found mental freedom as a way to overcome the vulnerability of his body.Expansion of themesThe subject matter of Mulbangulmudeom (2007) is the real-life figures that have appeared in Korea\u2019s popular reality television show entitled Screening Humanity [ko], where the everyday life of ordinary people are featured.[6] The poet\u2019s language provides a dry observation and depiction of ordinary people\u2019s life stories. However, behind the fa\u00e7ade of such arid documentation of ordinary everyday life lie his warm attitude toward other beings and his respect for the meaning of life. The poet\u2019s attention, which was once limited to his own sufferings, has opened up and discovered the Other that is confined by want and limitations. Thus, he has come to realize that we are all beings leading similar lives. Here, the poetic self recognizes that it is not just \u201cI\u201d who is suffering but everyone in the world. In this respect, the limitations of one\u2019s existence evolves into \u201cmelancholy affirmation\u201d that allows for the affirmation and embracement of the lives of other existences.[7]In Meon urecheoreom dasi ol geosida (2013), the poet obtains dispassionate composure that recognizes even life\u2019s agony as a landscape. This is a point of peace that can be reached only after one has passed the critical point of pain[8] and that can be seen only by those who have accepted life as a form of spiritual training. At this point, the dynamics that can be found only at the place of extinction create a new meaning of the circulation of life, instead of being reduced to melancholy. As described by the poet himself, his poetry is the records of and mourning for what have perished in vain.[9] In this poetry collection, he gives condolences to the life of suffering that had been gruesome and begins to dream of a transition into a different life. It is at this point that Eom\u2019s poetry is recognized as \u201cwarm but strong in its linguistic power.\u201d[8]\u300a\uce68\uc5fd\uc218\ub9bc\uc5d0\uc11c\u300b, \ubbfc\uc74c\uc0ac, 1991 \/ Chimyeopsurimeseo (From a Coniferous Forest), Minumsa, 1991\u300a\uc18c\uc74d\uc5d0 \ub300\ud55c \ubcf4\uace0\u300b, \ubb38\ud559\uacfc \uc9c0\uc131\uc0ac, 1995 \/ Soeube daehan bogo (Report on a Small Town), Moonj, 1995\u300a\ubb3c\ubc29\uc6b8 \ubb34\ub364\u300b, \ucc3d\ube44, 2007 \/ Mulbangulmudeom (\ubb3c\ubc29\uc6b8\ubb34\ub364 Waterdrop Grave), Changbi, 2007\u300a\uba3c \uc6b0\ub808\ucc98\ub7fc \ub2e4\uc2dc \uc62c \uac83\uc774\ub2e4\u300b, \ucc3d\ube44, 2013 \/ Meon urecheoreom dasi ol geosida (It Will Return like Thunder from Afar), Changbi, 2013Daegu Poets Association Award (\ub300\uad6c\uc2dc\uc778\ud611\ud68c\uc0c1) (1991)Kim Dal-jin Literary Award (\uae40\ub2ec\uc9c4\ubb38\ud559\uc0c1) (2007) for Mulbangulmudeom[10]Geumbok Culture Award (\uae08\ubcf5\ubb38\ud654\uc0c1) (Literature Category) (2008)[11]Balgyeon Literary Award (\ubc1c\uacac\ubb38\ud559\uc0c1) (2013) for Meon urecheoreom dasi ol geosida[12]Baek Seok Prize for Literature (2013) for Meon urecheoreom dasi ol geosida[13]References[edit]^ The pen name Eom Won-tae originated from his childhood family nickname.
