Exploring Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, we craft a collection of generated and found poems reflecting Ricoeur's philosophies. Also, we represent transcripts of interviews with a graduate student as found poems to explore the nuances of her life as a student of qualitative research. We invite our readers into a coconstructed space of poetic interpretation.
