The poet, Kang Eun Kyo, started her literary career when her work, "A Pilgrim's Sleep" was awarded the Best New Author in Sasangkye in 1968. In her poetry, the methods of images are the main techniques of her creation. This thesis examines the theory of images revealed through Kang Eun Kyo prose and analyses what characteristics of images her poems have in view of "the imagination of green body" originated from ecological literature or green literature. "The imagination of green body" is an important key in investigating the consciousness of futility penetrating her whole poetry. The sourceful power, which originates in the consciousness of futility and which makes the circle of existence stand up as a spiral, is the very warm imagination of futility. Biridegi which is a symbol of Gaia emerged in the early poetry becomes the important images with water, trees, grass and flowers. The consciousness of cosmos community where all lives are made entangled becomes the essence of lyric poetry, which are important images emerged in her whole poetry. Dividing Kang Eun Kyo's poetry into the early period, the middle period, and the late period, in particular, the life images of Gaia's self-organization appear remarkably. Also, her theory of images can be grasped to be originally systemized, naming the space of imagination causing the functions of images as "a tent of imagination."
