The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the meaning of Donghae-Samcheok regional literature. It can be referred to as problematic objects that shared converging and diverging points in looking into and understanding the problems of the modernity reflected in poetry. This paper tries to apply the locality in a broad sense to Donghae-Samcheok’s poetic works in various lights. Donghae-Samcheok regional literature started in earnest in the 1960s. The first literary journal Dong-ye, and other coteries, such as Bulmoji and Jukseoru came into existence during this period. The activities of these coteries were largely amateurish. Donghae․Samcheok maritime literature’s view of poetry is characterized by regional attitudes. One classic example is Ryu Jae-man’s poetry. The meaning of region can be called the spirit of lyricism, and his poems are the typical showcase of regional literature. Good examples are poetic attributes including the spirit of the undetermined native place and local history. Its metaphoric use of the sea based on emigration is a symbol of locality. Ryu’s maritime literature is sometimes accompanied by the lack of aesthetic realms. Nonetheless, the spirit of his works and their thematic effects makes one realize our centralized surroundings and the typical difficulties of living in unreasonable modern times.
