Abstract
This original creative work, the poem Season’s Past, was a refereed publication in a special issue of the literary journal, Westerly, published online in September 2016; publisher- University of Western. The poem is the result of the author's critical reflection on the role poetry plays as a response to research, in particular, how poetry can be employed through the methodology of poetic inquiry as a response to her research about higher education practice-led research in her ongoing doctoral study Creative River Journeys. This poem is a creative response that identifies the context of the university as a catalyst for explorations of memory and place. In this poem, Kylie has explored the significant role that landscape plays in embodying memory and emotions. This research outcome is a further addition to Kylie’s growing portfolio of poems that arise from her inter-disciplinary research into landscape, creative practice, research methodology and the poetic form. In this instance, the poem engages with the metaphor of seasons as signifiers of passages of time and articulations of lost landscapes and memories.
