조병화는1949년첫번째시집≪버리고싶은유산≫을통해문단에나왔고,데뷔이후첫시집에서부터마지막시집≪넘을수없는세월≫까지무려53권의창작시집을발표했다.이는2012년현재까지국내시인들중가장많은개인창작시집으로기록되어있다.그의폭넓은문학세계를98편의시에압축해실었다.

□출판사책소개
지식을만드는지식‘초판본한국근현대시선’은점점사라져가는원본을재출간하겠다는기획의도에따라한국문학평론가협회에서작가100명을엄선하고각각의작가에대해권위를인정받은평론가들을엮은이로추천했다.엮은이는직접작품을선정하고원전을찾아냈으며해설과주석을덧붙였다.
각작품들은초판본을수정없이그대로타이핑해서실었다.초판본을구하지못한작품은원전에가장근접한것을사용했다.저본에실린표기를그대로살렸고,오기가분명한경우만바로잡았다.단,띄어쓰기는읽기편하게현대의표기법에맞춰고쳤다.

시인조병화에게보고듣고느낀모든것은곧,시였다.그는스스로의말처럼“살아있는시인으로살아있는시를쓰고있어야한다”고믿었으며,평생‘말의힘’을찾기위해시를읽고썼다.그의시가주목받는이유중하나는인생의가장근원적인문제에대한탐구를멈추지않았다는것이다.첫번째시집부터마지막시집까지수천편이넘는시편들속에서도그는줄기차게생의본질과근원을놓치지않으려는모습을보인다.
그는이과정에서철학적사유에의존하지않으며심각성이나근엄한시적분위기를전면에내세우지도않았다.반면에난삽하지않은보편적인정감을통해언어를다루어내는감각을지니고있었다.만남,헤어짐,고독,사랑,죽음의식,어머니등그의감정의주류를이끌어내고있는모든것들을자연스럽게자신의시속에끌어안는평범함속의비범함을드러낸다.
이평범한‘진리’속에는독자와의공감을이끌어낼수있었던절대적원천인‘진실성’이라는미립자가가득차있다.이것이야말로비교적그의시가읽기쉽다는일반적인견해에대한대답이자시인이기다리던독자반응의촉매제가된다.시인은개인의존재의식에대한기록’이자‘스스로의역사’인자신의시를통해타인의공감을이끌어낸다.
그가추구해온것은궁극적으로인간에대한탐구이자고독한한인간으로서의자각과그자각속에서얻는자기확인의여정이었다.그런만큼조병화의시는느낌의세계다.지성이나오성의세계가아닌,감성이그저변에서부터생산해내는지성과오성의즐거움으로가득한느낌,그느낌으로공감하는장소이자세계인것이다.
