内容摘要: 通过重温一些当代美国韩裔意味深长的诗歌作品,本文试图从多方面论证文字和空间之间的互动中所显现的佛教与道教有关空这一重要概念。申善英诗歌里对韩语字母所做的实验引人注目,因为这些实验筑成了一个审美场域,使空和实积极参与了创建思维停顿的过程。在这里,空不仅仅是书页上的空白,它为思维构成了一个时—空场所,作为一种替代的空间,让读者了解一物如何与另一物连接在一起。本文将美国韩裔实验诗学中各种语法、句型结构的省略和衍生创新与“空”(kong, emptiness)的概念对接。申善英诗歌中的排印空间犹如一个万物渗透的网络,迫使读者体验思维停顿,并直觉地认清物的原貌及任何(或无)实物本体可能性的体现。

Abstract: By rereading some meaningful texts in contemporary Korean American poetry, this essay aims to address, on several fronts, the critical notion of emptiness in Buddhism and Daoism in the interplay of words and space. Sun Yung Shin’s experiments with Korean alphabets in her poems stand out in the way that they become the aesthetic field where emptiness and thingness actively take part in the process of creating a thought pause. Here, emptiness is not just a blank space on a page. It forms a temporal-spatial site for thought as an alternative space where readers are invited to see how every singular thing is related to every other thing. This essay connects the various uses of grammatical and structural ellipsis and paratactical construction in Korean American Experimental Poetics with the notion of “emptiness, kong,空.” As a web of interpenetrated all things, the typographical space in Sun Yung Shin’s poems forces the reader to experience the thought pause and to intuitively perceive things-as-they-are and the embodiment of ontological possibilities of any-(no)-thing.

Key words: Korean American poetry, thought pause, emptiness, thingness, Sun Yung Shin, Skirt Full of Black
