Description
Summary:This paper is written in a personal capacity and mainly takes the form of a poem-in five sections-composed as a response to some of the ideas in the article by Hannu Heikkinen and colleagues in this same issue of Educational Action Research: 'Action research as narrative: five principles for validation'. The poem takes its title and structure from that article: its coming-into-being as a piece of work is described in the short introduction. As the introduction mentions, the author-poet has discussed, in previous papers, some of the connections and disconnections between the practices of educational research and poetry. The present paper offers actual work-in-practice that illustrates how these have been played out in one context-which was as poet-in-residence at a conference on inter-professional learning and practice in healthcare. The author is very keen to tempt others into dialogue on these issues.
