Abstract
This original creative work, the poem ‘The Women’s Stone Circle’, was a refereed publication in the A ranked journal, Outskirts, in May 2015, published in Perth by University of Western Australia (ISSN 1445-0445). The poem is the result of Kylie’s critical reflection on her 6 year membership in the Magdalena Talks Back feminist research group, the subject of this special issue of the journal. The group (named in relation to an international network of women in contemporary theatre called The Magdalena Project) is a critical collaborative community of scholars fostering engagement with contemporary feminist research methodologies. This poem is a creative response that both acknowledges innovative research methodologies by members of the Magdalena Talks Back group, and as poetic inquiry is itself part of an innovative feminist research approach. In this poem, Kylie has explored the dichotomy between the traditional voice of the academic and emergent feminist voices in research. 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 circles within circles as articulations of the feminist research voice
