Dr. Jules Nyquist researched the experiences of adult poetry instructors as they used poetic inquiry for stress management in their classroom settings. Four themes emerged from her study in this ambiguous, circular, and collaborative process.
1. Lens of Perception
2. Breath and Value of Voice
3. Community and Culture
4. Diligent Practice of Identity
How can we live in the world with poetry as a core identity?
As a first-generation college student in her 60s, she will share her transformational journey of balancing full-time work, school, poetry activities, and family life. Her backyard labyrinth in Placitas, NM, provided a focus for the many walks over four years during the pandemic when she was a doctoral student online. This talk and her dissertation are dedicated to her poet instructor participants and to all poets who want to keep the practice of poetry as inquiry, or a way of living in the world.
