Appropriated Poetry

Abstract

The development of transcription poems is presented along with the authors’ borrowing from found poetry to create the research poetry form archival or artifact poetry. Archival poetry has roots in the arts such as the traditional poem centos, contemporary found poetry, and appropriation in the arts. Appropriated poetry exemplars are included. The authors advocate for a space they term good enough poetry for researchers to write what at first might be “inferior,” but what might develop into refined poetry. The following areas are discussed: (a) merit, (b) who should write poetry, (c) becoming a research poet, and (d) accessibility.
