<Abstract>
This paper presents an essay-type research to propose the roles and directions of poetry education required in the post-human era and have contemplation over specific contents of poetry education to fulfill them. Agreeing on the need for “emotional intelligence education,” which is emerging in the post-human era, the study developed specific discussions about the roles and directions of poetry in the upcoming post-human era beyond excessive pessimism for artificial intelligence and groundless optimism about it. The study first examined the problematic consciousness captured in poetry in the post-human era by reviewing poems by Kim Hyeon and Shin Hae-wook that raised new questions about human/non-human. The study then highlighted a need for poetry appreciation education to reveal the ethics of a new era by examining works of Hwang In-chan and Gwon Bak who displayed queer imagination and feminist problematic consciousness that made full-blown appearance in the middle 2010s. Finally, the study explored the possibilities of poetry appreciation education as emotional education along with the ethics of sympathy in the face of self-deficiency by examining poems by Lee Won-ha. The basic perspective of the study is that a majority of crises in the upcoming post-human era when artificial intelligence will be in full scale are actually created the society. By discussing the need for poetry education as the ethics of sympathy and also the specific roles and directions of poetry education in the era prevalent with hatred for others, the study claimed that poetry education should actively play its roles as part of humanities in preparation of post-human era and proposed the specific contents of the education.
