Storytelling can be said to be a negotiation between lyric and epic. Besides, it’s possible to get a person (reader) to take note of the epic aspects premised in a poetic work by reconstituting the appreciation process & result of a poetic work as story telling. Although poetry belongs to the lyric form, it’s also possible for a reader to reconstitute poetry as a story on the basis of implied emotion or meanings through the constituents, such as a poetic narrator, object and circumstances, etc. Through the process of reconstituting the lyric as storytelling based on a story, students might be able to increase their understanding and appreciative power of poetic works, and to come to experience the joy of mutual communication between a student’s own experience & life and a poetic work. Accordingly, storytelling could be an effective way to revitalize literary education in that it can induce an aggressive mutual negotiation between a poetic work and a reader, and a horizontal conversation between student readers besides its aspect of reader-oriented acceptance of a poetic work.
