“…The poems I had written prior were mainly for personal meditation and enjoyment. However, reflecting Guiney Yallop's (Guiney Yallop et al, 2014) experience, "I had to reawaken the poet to become a researcher" (p. 3).…”

Poetic inquirers immerse themselves in the flow of life, listening for art in the ordinary world, offering a response through voice and written word. The biennial International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry, which draws poet-scholars from across disciplines and the world, showcases the artful use of poetry in research as a method of inquiry. In this article, the Fifth Symposium on Poetic Inquiry is relived by two attendees who interrogate found poems they each created from presentations and performances. The poems are brought together as a means of researching each author’s respective approaches to creating found poetry. In this article, the authors converse about their methodological frameworks: phenomenology and metaphor/ narrative. Central to this dialogue is how the found poem is listened for, and how artful responses are made to the pull of words. The authors conclude by considering the ethics of rehousing others’ words and the challenge this inquiry presents to our own private sense-making in academic conferences.

“…The two forms created “a different lens through which to view the same scenery” (Sparkes et al, 2003: 155). The prose functioned on a concrete level as Linda stayed close to the data quotes to represent the findings, while Lisa worked on a more visceral level, embodying the poet’s “sustained and contemplative love of language” (Guiney Yallop et al, 2014: 6). Returning to the theme of “breaking a child’s spirit” as an example, Linda focused on literal actions that isolated the children: trusted adults being killed or tortured in front of them and friendships between the child soldiers being forbidden.…”

Methodological Innovations

In this study, situated in the borderland between traditional and artistic methodologies, we innovatively represent our research findings in both prose and poetry. This is an act of exploration and resistance to hegemonic assumptions about legitimate research writing. A content analysis of young adult literature featuring trafficked child soldiers is the vehicle through which we advocate for the simultaneous use of prose and poetry. Several overarching insights emerged from this work as our prose and poetic representations, taken together, did more than either could have done on its own. We noted significant differences in scope, impact, and use of words when representing findings in the two forms. Additionally, independently selecting many of the same quotes as we created our separate representations contributed to the validity of the analysis. We saw very concretely that what one knows in one form one might know differently in another, generating a synergy of knowing.

“…Writing poetry enables the researcher to "interrogate the self, within the social and political" (K. Fitzpatrick, 2012). As Leavy contends, many researchers in the "ivory tower" look to create an embodied more just approach for ivory is cold so I carved myself a poetic path (Leavy, 2010, p. 243) Poetic inquirers are thus scholars who employ poetry and poetic techniques to construct, analyse and/or represent research findings (Butler-Kisber, 2010; Prendergast, Leggo & Sameshima, 2009;Thomas, Cole & Stewart, 2012;Yallop, Wiebe, Faulkner, 2014). So why does poetry matter in educational research?…”
