Found poetry reveals narratives of the school-to-work transition in the context of social conflict, highlighting youth experiences in the 1980s.
This article presents three thematic found poems based on reanimated data from interview transcripts, interview schedules, speeches, commentary, research ephemera, notes, and personal reflections related to school-to-work transition and youth training in 1980s Britain. This was a time of upheaval and change, with young people at the forefront of economic decline and social conflict. Rather than leaving their stories “archived,” found poetry has the analytical potential to offer new insights and understanding.
