This book offers a phenomenologically-inspired approach to
sharing stories via ‘poetic inquiry’, a research approach that is
rapidly gaining popularity within psychology and the wider social
sciences. Owton begins by framing how poetry can appeal to all of
the senses, how it can offer readers a shared experience of the
world and why poetry should be used as a research approach.
Chapters explore various aspects of poetic inquiry including
poetry as data, turning data into poetry, poetry as literature
review and poetry as reflective writing. The final chapters
consider how one might draw on characterising traits to judge
poetic inquiry, and how poetry might resonate with audiences to
effect wider dissemination of research. This interdisciplinary
exploration will be of interest to scholars in psychology,
sociology, social work, and literature, as well as to medical and
sports practitioners.
