Education as a “lived reality” 2. Sense of Well-Being, and 3. Resolving Tensions.&nbsp; Second, the paper will present the respective poems that emerged from the poetic transcription that represent the researcher’s critical encounter with participants’ delicately complex stories.&nbsp; The manuscript addresses how readers’ emotions are implicated in poetic inquiry since the qualitative approach serves to appeal to the broader complexity of participants’ experiences.&nbsp; The poems, therefore, underscore the intensely personal encounter and individual impressions the researcher experienced and, in turn, offer readers an opportunity to share in the moments of the critical encounter.&nbsp; </em></p> Lorenzo Cherubini Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-04-29 2025-04-29 9 1 1 13 10.20319/pijtel.2025.91.0113
