Abstract
Self-care requires us to engage with different and diverse types of practices and strategies to help us with our wellbeing. Sarah Wardle reminds us that before we approach the reading of a poem, we come with assumptions, and we need to “re-open the discussion”. Poetry can enhance us, change us, and touch our hearts. Poetic inquiry as one way of “offering new insights that may inform professional practice”. The poems are thus artistic expressions and representations of each of the chapters in this collection. Each poem is constructed from the exact words, wording, or phrases. Poetry as a methodology and/or method enhances our teaching, research, and practice. Self-care becomes an imperative both individually and systemically when working in higher education as an academic, leader, teacher, PhD student, research assistant, librarian, or support staff member.
