Abstract
Furman, Lietz and Langer (2006) indicated that a literary poem differs from a research poem because the author is in a research poem is removed, as much as possible, from the data. However, this presentation reveals how I combined both literary and research aspects of poetry in a study of urban girls and critical literacy. Therefore, I argue for a “literary research poem” whereby data is presented through the authentic voices of the participants and the autoethnographic lens of the author.
