“…Similarly, in a literature review of the contemporary use of poetry in qualitative research, Lahman et al (2009) described how "autoethnographic poetry has been composed by researchers to reveal some experience of the researcher, shedding light on aspects of life pulled from personal experiences that would not traditionally be considered data" (p. 40). Furthermore, qualitative researchers have demonstrated how, in addition to serving as autoethnographic data, poetry can be an alternative, creative mode for representation and analysis of autoethnographic data (Furman, 2005;Furman, Langer, & Taylor, 2010).…”

ABSTRACT:We offer an account of how we, a research team of three South African academics, have dialogued with multiculturalism and equity through collective poetic autoethnographic inquiry. The focus of the article is on our learning through reading and responding to published autoethnographies by three other South African academics. We share our learning about how poetry and dialogue can facilitate a generative entanglement with autoethnographies written by others. The article highlights the promise of collective poetic autoethnographic inquiry for opening up spaces for dialoguing with multiculturalism and equity.

“…As a poet/practitioner understands that the act of creation, whether that creation is a poem or the construction of one's individual life space, is a highly personal act, demanding more witness than expert (Furman, 2004(Furman, , 2005. Using the poet mindset to enrich analysis allows the practitioner a more tangible examination of the human experience through his or her own reflections on life and experience.…”

“…When studying human behaviour and feelings, data is inherently social in nature, and this social data must be taken in a fitting manner. Because of the complex, personal nature of the human experience, a simple survey where choices are defined for clients would hardly suffice to give practitioners an accurate picture of the client's experiences and feelings associated with substantial events in her life (Finley & Knowles, 1995;Furman, 2005).…”

A B S T R A C T Poetry matters: a case for poetry in social workThis article seeks to contribute to an unfortunate decline in literature that explores the importance of the arts and humanities to social work practice, education and research through an exploration of the role of poetry in social work. The authors explore the metaphor of the poet/practitioner, identifying what practitioners can learn from the poet. Second, the authors explore the use of poetry in therapeutic settings, identifying the strengths of using this tool in clinical practice. Third, the authors address the use of poetry within the context of research, exploring how the research poem can be used as a tool of post-modern qualitative research to help social workers understand the lived experiences of their clients. Finally, the authors explore current and future consequences of the profession ignoring the arts and humanities.

“…Furman (2006c) demonstrates how different poetic forms are used to highlight different qualitative aspects. For instance, highly evocative, emotional data lends itself to expression through the French Pantoum, which is characterized by repeating and rhythmic lines.…”
