Abstract
A found poem created from a selection of poems published in indexed peer-reviewed social science journals between 2007 and 2012 is presented. The excerpts from poems were drawn from a 595-page annotated bibliographic update of a bibliography on this poetic inquiry in the social sciences that was completed in 2007. Excerpts from poems were gathered from this updated compilation via Kurt H. Wolff’s phenomenological surrender and catch method. Surrendering to the process of engaging with the bibliography allowed me to catch phrases, lines, and verses. Excerpts were chosen based on aesthetic criteria such as imagery, metaphor, truthfulness, affective impact, and so on. These excerpts were then grouped according to various voice forms and topics covered. A found poem created from excerpts from 30 poems focuses on Vox Poetica, one of five new voices discovered that are employed in recent poetic inquiry practice.
