Poetic Expressions: Students of Color Express Resiliency Through Metaphors and Similes

Horace R. Hall

This study extends out of a writing activity implemented in an after-school youth mentoring program. The three research participants featured here used various forms of written expression (i.e., poetry, spoken word, and hip hop) to document and communicate their lived realities as African American and Latino youth. Their writings prompted this study, evoking questions regarding the coping strategies and resources that adolescent males of color use to transcend adversity in their environments. The researcher employs an interpretive design (on-site research, sustained social interaction, interpretation of subjective meanings, nonstructured interviews, and participatory data analysis) as a way to uncover the individual epistemologies of the research participants.
