Poetic Inquiry for Synchrony & Love

<p>Guided by theoretical philosophical experiential and ethical understanding Poetic Inquiry is positioned as a way of becoming in an animate cosmos-a co-creative world pulsing in-to and out-of existence. This positioning does not reflect an ontological turn in the field. Rather it claims a place that has always already been yet not differentiated within Poetic Inquiry publications gatherings and arts-oriented research communities. This collection calls unwaveringly for listeners and readers to question their embodied experience of reality so to recognize the interdependence between their bodies and the breathing earth-the easterly winds aspen's sibling roots and morning's quilled songs; these elements are not separable. </p><p></p><p>With its companion publication Poetic Inquiry for Synchrony and Love: A New Order of Gravity a special issue in Art Research International: A Transdisciplinary Journal Fidyk and St. Georges called for poetic words poetic images and poetic inquiring that honour the dynamic dimensions of the full breath of life: birth death and regeneration. Seeking to support their growing international community through collective rhythm and mutual breath they sought what is precious bejeweled and sacred while offering a curative for catastrophic times. </p><p></p><p>Here poets authors educators scholars artists and activists boldly gather. They imagine feel intuit and haptically perceive to re-centre researching teaching learning living. Together their vibrant work renders Poetic Inquiry a research approach a perspective not only as previously used: a method a research tool and an under theorized methodology. As a way of relating mourning and loving Poetic Inquiry offers renewal even revitalization by remembering the potency of poetic consciousness and existential mysteries.</p>
