My poem is my voice

Poems on poems in research processes

Abstract

How can poems become a part of the research processes? The poems connected in a series of poems frames quite a few aspects of this question.

Here you as the reader will meet reflections in the form of poems. I also bring an image from my own office, where poems, sketches and models exist simultaneously in processes, that might look complex (Kølln, 2022).  That will be commented directly in the poem Samtidige spring/simultaneous jumps in the poetry suite. The photo is by Tor Birk Trads. In the image there is a model for a way to understand research as an open laboratory (Thestrup & Robinson, 2016).  Jeg comment on this after the poems themselves, but think about the whole text as a poetic field diary med text, poems and a model for a human being, that just as myself is entering a new field and where everything is at stake.  The poems are about the processes in a research project, where what might be important, can be touched upon and formulated and though that become of importance for both methods, questions and in the end the answers to what the researcher wants to know and be able to.
