Kim Kwangkyun (1924~1993) was a South Korean poet. He made his literary debut in 1938 with the publication of his poem “Seorya” (설야(雪夜) Snowy Night) in The Chosun Ilbo. As one of Korea’s leading modernist poets, Kim published the literary coterie journals Meridian and Village of Poets, together with So Chong-ju and Yi Yuksa. He is considered to have played a pioneering role in developing Korea’s imagism poetry.·          Wasadeung (와사등(瓦斯燈) Gas Light) (1939)·          Gihangji (기항지(寄港地) A Port of Call) (1947)
