1982년에 첫 작품이 발표된 황동규 시인의 연작시다. 연작시의 첫 번째 시 <풍장>을 발표한 이후 같은 제목으로 70편의 연작시를 발표했으며, 1995년 연작시집 <풍장>을 출간하였다. <풍장> 연작은 죽음에 대한 시인의 명상을 담고 있다. 삶의 적대적 요소라 여겨지는 죽음에 대해 새롭게 성찰함으로써 죽음에 대한 부담과 두려움을 덜고, 삶의 종결로서의 죽음이 아닌 육체로부터의 해방, 벗어남으로서의 죽음을 받아들이려 한다. 이로써 죽음을 끝이 아닌 삶의 동력으로 전환하고자 하는 정신적 경지를 엿볼 수 있다.

Wind Burial is a collection of Hwang Tong-gyu’s poems, including the eponymous cycle of poems. Debuting in 1982 with the publication of “Wind Burial” (the first poem in the cycle), the poet later released 70 more poems under the same title, and in 1995 the poems were compiled and published as the single collection Wind Burial. A meditation on death, the poems are an attempt to relieve the fear and burden of death, the poet striving to accept death as a means of liberation or escape from the body, rather than as the end of life. By offering a new perspective on death that does not merely characterize death as antagonistic to life, the work provides a glimpse into a spiritual condition that can turn death into a motive for living.
