This edited volume illustrates various definitions and uses of poetry in research and scholarship, both across disciplines and across the world. The collection offers a worldview of the capacity of poetic inquiry to enhance research and scholarship by showcasing rigorous poetics (which [re]present epistemology and aesthetics as synergistic) in action. Each chapter is intended to highlight diverse perspectives and uses of poetic inquiry, thereby highlighting commonalities and differences in praxis, that include:- Critical discussion around poetry and its uses in each poet-scholar's diverse practices (e.g., research, writing, personal development, healthcare, mental health, ecology and/or scholarship).- An example of poetry that showcases their approach(es) in action.- Insights into the crafting of their poetry (i.e., what choices were made? why were specific choices made?)- An exploration of how their poetic work links to the vast rhizomatic array of poetic inquiry.This volume is well-suited for new scholars, looking for ways to integrate poetry into their praxis, and experienced scholars who wish to further their understanding of the capaciousness of poetic inquiry as a valuable method, methodology, tool and/or approach. It also holds insights for those interested in the power of poetry as it relates to mental health, health care, ecology, teaching, qualitative research and identity work.
