A piece of text is a piece of mind. The mutual relationship between the writer and his text can be translated into a situation where composition and decomposition of desire and internal scars and the pain of ignition co-exist. Writing visualizes the sound of desire and, at the same time, reveals oppressed self-consciousness. Consequently, writing is revealing of desire and oppression while desire for discourse is a process of self-sensor for covert desire. A poem is an artistic act of turning internal hiding and concealment into methodological principles through refraction and distortion. Poetic truth is beauty revealed in the course of exploring the internal side of the poet who has appeared in disguise. Ko Eun's poem writing is heavily dependent on important turning points in Korean history. Simultaneously, his poems has close, internal corelation with the political situations derived from it. The Dialect of the Universe," Ko Eun's anthology of proses, has characteristics as follows. First, though he gives details how his internality, or poetic languages are formed in his proses, he tends to interpret his poem expost and endorse their existence. This suggests that he attempts to disclose his belief through writing which reveals his internal side and expresses his desire to be located at the center of politics by justifying his political senses. Second, he divides the course of his poem writing into three sections: early poems, participatory poems and intrinsic cycle after 1990s. The naming of intrinsic cycle by himself contains his desire to embrace more universal sense, including international senses, humanitarian and global meaning and human rights and life. Third, given that poem writing is a form that reveals his fate as a poet, Ko Eun will be remembered as a poet who has equalized poetic truth and political truth by corresponding political senses to systemic dimensions, which is nearly unprecedented in the history of Korea's poem literature.
