In this report , we brought focus into poems with notably depictive techniques in the earlier works of Baek - suk , which were published in his collection 「 사슴 」 , and poems with descriptive techniques in his later works . We could find observating and self - gazing eye in his earlier works . Yet in his later works like 「 국수 」 or 「 北方 에서 」 , there are memories of the past , searching the origin of the poet himself , or questions to the self - existence immanent in poems . Self - gazing or questions to the self - existence are also deeply related to dialect or folkish natures which are external aspects of his works . In order to understand deep meanings of these features , we should avoid past aspects which takes dialect or folkish natures as merely past ones , and they should be regarded as competing with modernity . Self - gazing through observation or questions to the self - existence are also thought to be deeply related to the spirit of the beginning of modernity when the early concepts of modernism was established in europe . Though the conclusion of this report is restricted to only partial study of modernities in poems of Baek - suk , yet the basic reviews of its modernities which this study noticed , would be a future subject as a part of studies of modernities in 1930 ' s Korean poetry .
