I am going to return a book to the Institute of Education today. I can no longer renew it. The book is an edited edition by J.G. Knowles and A.L. Cole, Handbook of the Arts in Qualitative Research. My favourite piece is by Carl Leggo, Astonishing Silence: Knowing in Poetry. My favourite quotation from the piece is: 'Poetry acknowledges how the heart and imagination are always integral parts of human knowing. Poetry seeks the truth about human experience.' Does this help you to understand my position? I am quite passionate about poetry as a powerful, resonating tool in research.
