Poetic Possibilities in Yoon Sabina’s “A flower is not a flower”: In The Example of Kim Chunsoo's ‘Flower’

Abstract

This paper compared the similarity with Kim Chunsoo's poem ‘Flower’ to explore the poetic possibility of appearing in the play “A flower is not a flower”. In order to compare the similarities between the two, a convergent perspective was sought to talk about the play in poetry and to talk about poetry in the play. Some previous studies on the convergence of poetry and drama have fixedly defined the convergence concept of poetry and drama as a dichotomous diagram of what is poetry and drama. Studies that organize poetry and drama in a dichotomy have two limitations. First, poetry limits the infinite possibility of being an art prototype. Second, it excludes various morphological possibilities that the dismantling of the play could change. In the end, this study sought poetic possibilities by comparing Yun Sabina's play “A flower is not a flower” with Kim Chunsoo's poem ‘Flower’, leaning on a perspective that supports convergence, rather than looking at the relationship between poetry and drama in a dichotomous way.
