Abstract

Qualitative interviews often contain a richness of data that lends itself to some sort of creative data representation. Such rich texts may be distilled into a found data poem. I will present six found data poems from in-depth interviews. I will discuss the poetic craft as applied to data, alternative language usage that retains the contextualized voice of the interview-participant in accordance with oral history parameters, and developing a rubric to increase validity of the method.
