H omeless and vulnerably housed populations are heterogeneous 1 and continue to grow in numbers in urban and rural settings as forces of urbanization collide with gentrification and austerity policies. 2 Collectively, they face dangerous living conditions and marginalization within health care systems. 3 However, providers can improve the health of people who are homeless or vulnerably housed, most powerfully by following evidence-based initial steps, and working with communities and adopting anti-oppressive practices. 1,4,5 Broadly speaking, "homelessness" encompasses all individuals without stable, permanent and acceptable housing, or lacking the immediate prospect, means and ability of acquiring it. 6 Under such conditions, individuals and families face intersecting social, mental and physical health risks that significantly increase morbidity and mortality. 7,8 For example, people who are homeless and vulnerably housed experience a significantly higher prevalence of trauma, mental health conditions and substance use disorders than the general population. 7,9 Canadian research reports that people who experience homelessness face life expectancies as low as 42 years for men and 52 years for women. 7 A generation ago, homeless Canadians were largely middleaged, single men in large urban settings. 10 Today, the epidemiology has shifted to include higher proportions of women, youth, Indigenous people (Box 1), immigrants, older adults and people from rural communities. 13,14 For example, family homelessness (and therefore homelessness among dependent children and youth) is a substantial, yet hidden, part of the crisis. 15 In 2014, of the estimated 235 000 homeless people in Canada, 27.3% were women, 18.7% were youth, 6% were recent immigrants or migrants, and a growing number were veterans and seniors. 10

The problem in learning to write poetry is the difficulty of students to come up with ideas and develop them into poetry lines. This study uses a qualitative method, data collection is done by half-structured interview techniques. The population is elementary school teachers in the city of Padang. Sample selection uses snowball sampling techniques. The number of samples is five people. The data analysis technique used is thematic analysis. This thematic analysis model consists of three stages, namely data reduction, data display, and data validation. The results of this study indicate that all respondents agreed that teachers need to change their perceptions in teaching. Teachers should strive to understand theories, methods and design learning creatively and innovatively so that learning is more meaningful and learning goals are easily achieved.

“…The expression of a social world is a new, different, and alternative way of seeing and being. In the past two decades, qualitative researchers (Brady, 2000;Faulkner, 2009;Finley, 2000;Glesne, 1997;Hones, 1998;Lahman et al, 2011;Leavy, 2015;MacNeil, 2001;Prendergast, 2006;Reinertsen, Ben-Horin, & Borgenvik, 2014;Richardson, 2000Richardson, , 2002Sjollema, Hordyk, Walsh, Hanley, & Ives, 2012;Tasker, Loftus, & Higgs, 2014) have been writing poetry as research for evocative expression, for alternative discovery, and for creative being, potentially bridging divisions between their participants and themselves. Perhaps Lawrence Ferlinghetti (2007) captures this evolution, saying ''poetry is the shortest distance between two humans'' (p. 40).…”
