Follow-up Activities for “Being in the Second Iraq War”:

1. Evaluate how the author’s use of poetic formatting (stanzas, indents, etc.) and poetic devices (rhythm, free verse, quotations, etc.) conveyed the soldier’s experiences.
2. Poetry as research representation should “stand on its own,” without supplemental researcher commentary such as footnotes and citations embedded within the poetry, to convey the analytic findings. Evaluate whether this poetic representation as qualitative research “stands on its own.”
