The method and thema in the poetry written by Kim, Jong-gil which I suggest in this paper are connected with above-mentioned Imagism, which goes forward Modernism. Because his style of writing poem is investigated within the limits, what is called “Sensibility of spirit.” He stops the space caught his eyes definitely and describes the objects situated there, embodies the scenery arranged by them sensually. Stopped space and precise outline of the objects positioned within there make a confused sense of person recover sufficiently. At this point, sonorous style of his poem already works out a scheme. I think, somewhat, the spirit of his poem stands aloof from all of the changeable mutability and looks up a steady peak continuously. From the first collection of his poems, “Christmas Festival(『聖誕祭』)” to “The year became even shorter(『해가 많이 짧아졌다』)”published in 2004, he concentrates the silence of spirit, and then focuses on a sensational description of silence. And he continues to publish ‘the poems which get rid of extra flesh’ according to the expression by Kim, Choon-su. So, I didn't consider the year of writing poems and bound the poetry in six volumes into only one and then summarized the characteristics of the text. Through becoming sensible a target the way of tracing of the spirit presents,<br/>
1. “A sensational description of silence.” The way of grasping concreteness of a target keeping a distance from it presents, 2. “Esthetic distance and concreteness.”<br/>
And the main idea and the landscape of mind tracing these methods focuses, 3. “Flatness and a disinterested attitude,” 4. “The spirit of endurance and dignity.”<br/>
The method and thema of the poems I divide going through his poetry, in fact, are entrusted with organic condition intimately. The skill of poem he describes is because he analyzes the discipline for life thoroughly and then reveals the order into silence. Through solving the silence between lines and explaining the main idea, I just try to approach closely to the world of poetry by Kim, Jong-gil in this paper.<br/>
