공무원 시인으로 잘 알려진 김철모 씨(전라북도 예산과장)가 서민들의 희로애락을 서정적 기법으로 엮은 시집 “봄은 남쪽 바다에서 온다를 펴냈다.

김 시인은 2008년 첫 시집 “그리운 고향 지사리”를 출간하면서 고향과 부모님의 향수를 불러 일으켜 독자들의 가슴을 적시게 했었다. 그 후 2009년에 두 번째 시집 “또 하나의 행복”을 펴내 가족의 소중함을 노래하였고, 3년 만에 세 번째 시집을 펴내게 된 것이다

김 시인은 가정적이고 서정적인 감성으로 소재를 가족과 고향, 여행, 믿음 등 서민들의 이야기에 창작의 열정을 불어 넣어 독자들의 가슴 속에 진한 감동을 주고 있다.

이 책은 첫 장에서‘어머니 떠난 지’라고 운을 띄운 뒤 평소 죽도록 보고 싶은 어머니에 대한 사모곡을 애절하게 표현하고 있다. 저자는‘시간이 지날수록 시를 활자화 하는 것이 두려워 지는 것 같다’고 말하면서 ‘공직자로 바쁘게 살면서도 주말 등 자투리 시간을 이용하여 시를 창작하는 것이 또 다른 활력소가 되고 있다’고 말했다.

김 시인은 결혼 28주년이 11월 11일이라서 그 기념일에 맞추어 세 번째 시집을 발간하게 된 것이 무엇보다 기쁘다며 소회를 밝혔다.
