Published 2010. Poetry as Research develops an approach that allows poetry writing to be used as a research method for exploring questions relating to
second language learners and more broadly for studies within the humanities and social sciences.
The book investigates the characteristics of poetry writing and situates poetry writing as a qualitative, arts-based, research process. The book utilizes
corpus linguistics, qualitative, bibliographic, and philosophical methods and investigates the process of writing poetry, the textual and literary
characteristics of second language poetry, poetic identity and inquiry.
The developed methodology is exemplified through a poetic inquiry of the study abroad experiences of ESL students. The book provides a comprehensive,
informed and innovative approach to the investigation of understandings of personal experience.
This book should be of interest to the fields of applied linguistics, stylistics, literary studies, creative writing and composition as well as anyone
interested in using writing as a research method.Hardback
