Jeong Soon-ung has written his poems through the reflection on nature. His poems carry locality: they demonstrate the fact that literature mirrors human lives and places. They also seek for the aesthetic values and the meaning of life through the spatial images, which are revealed in his view of literature. Jeong’s poetry show the various levels of the consciousness of the existence. The consciousness of the existence in his poetry has the variation. This space, which is the place of his literary life and activities, forms the web of the essential meanings of his poetry. The East Sea repetitively appear as the two of the representative spatial images. Jeong’s view of poetry is characterized by regional attitude. The meaning of region can be called the spirit of lyricism, and Jeong’s poems are the typical showcase of it. The good examples are poetic attributes as the spirit of the undetermined native place. And his sense of existentialism based on the nature is a symbol of placeness. The simple formality deriving from Jeong’s lyricism is sometimes accompanied by the lack of aesthetic realms. Nonetheless, his spirit and works prove our surroundings and the typical pattern of the field of regional literature by performing effects.
