“…The brilliance of poetic inquiry ties to poetry’s ability to show rather than tell about the human experience. Poetry is purposefully ambiguous and metaphorical and attempts to capture what ordinary vernaculars cannot (A. Sullivan 2000).…”

This note overviews a class activity and an assignment for engaging poetic transcription. Poetic transcription is an arts-based research method commonly employed in the analysis and representation of qualitative data. The discussion provides some background on arts-based research, poetic inquiry, and poetic transcription as research practices within the qualitative tradition. Furthermore, it shows how utilizing poetry in the classroom can help develop empathy and analytical skills as well as facilitate collaboration, creativity, and student engagement. This teaching note includes an examination of the students’ impressions using poetic transcription and links poetic transcription to critical pedagogical practices for teaching and learning sociology. I conclude with a discussion that offers considerations for future practitioners.

“…The day we practiced poetic transcription, I spent the first minutes of class overviewing the weeks’ assigned readings, which explained and gave examples of poetic transcription (Faulkner 2018; Glesne 1997; Leavy 2015; L. Richardson 1994; A. Sullivan 2000).…”

“…The chapter provides a brief history of poetry, noting some of the key players. Missing is the pioneering work with found poetry (Butler-Kisber, 2002) and the early work of Sullivan (2000), but one cannot be expected to cover all of the genealogy in a chapter. Leavy does not claim breadth or inclusivity; rather, the chapter and the book provide an introduction and invitation to the growing library stacks of arts-based research.…”

“…Similarly Poindexter (2002Poindexter ( , 2006 presents her participants' stories as poems and notes, "The poems seemed to me to be embedded in the stories, just as the stories were embedded in the interviews, and when I extracted them, I felt a deeper sense of empathy and resonance with the caregivers' experiences" (2002, p. 709). Butler-Kisber described her poetic re-presentation as "found poetry" and, interestingly, considering the links between Dewey (1938) and the narrative inquiry method; Sullivan (2000) created three found poems from sections of Dewey's Art as Experience. Other researchers faced dilemmas of how to re-present the collective voice and a large amount of data where the stories are scattered across several transcripts (e.g., Butler-Kisber, 2002;Clarke, Febbraro, Hatzipantelis, & Nelson, 2005;Gannon, 2001).…”

“Bringing the Message Forward”: Using Poetic Re-presentation to Solve Research Dilemmas

Researchers cannot always rely on traditional methods for solving research dilemmas. In a research project that explored the friendships and social relationships of four students with severe disabilities in four secondary schools in New Zealand, the author uses poetic re-presentation to solve several ethical and pragmatic research dilemmas. Within a wider context of arts-based research methods, poetic re-presentation is a method of re-presenting participants’ stories to answer research questions. The method involves crafting transcripts in a caring and relational manner to foreground the students’ stories, create verisimilitude and focus on the essence of the experiences, create coherent storylines, and create evocative text. Background to the development of poetic re-presentation in social science research is provided, and a context and rationale for using this method is explored. The process of creating poetic text from transcripts is described and illustrated, using extracts from one student’s stories to contribute to the growing poetry transcription literature.
