description It is important for instructors to reflect on and develop their teaching practices and pedagogy. Using a poetic inquiry method, this article offers an alternative model for reflecting on academic writing and teaching practices using a found poetry cluster. My example focuses on graduate academic writing instruction. I create found poems from my own written reflections and literature on graduate writing and organize them into a cluster to identify connections and dissonances. I finish with a discussion of my critical analysis of the poetry cluster and how using poetic inquiry as a reflective method helped me to develop both my writing process and teaching pedagogy.
