This book describes the practice of poetic inquiry and takes the
reader through the process of translating lived experience into
poetry that attends to the lives of others. Using her own
writing-from early drafts to published poems-Apol demonstrates
elements of poetic inquiry that both give it strength and make it
complicated: the importance of craft (the aesthetic); the
imperative of accuracy and reliability (the investigative); the
significance of ethical responsibility that leads to action
(witness); and the centrality of relational connectedness and
accountability (withness). Apol raises questions about what it
means for poems to function as both research and art, and
illustrates what happens when there are irresolvable conflicts
between the demands of the poem and a commitment to relationship.
Throughout, Apol addresses her white privilege, as well as the
dominant white/colonial narrative that often seeps into arts-based
work unless it is overtly and critically addressed. The book goes
beyond arts-based research, speaking as well to other forms of
cross-national, cross-cultural research. It is a call for
relational scholarship that moves toward action, a heart-rending
teaching, a post-traumatic aesthetic map laid down with clear and
poignant theory and praxis to extend, serve and guide.
