Abstract

Theoretical explanations of learners' poetry writing development are relatively new and, compared to other genres, rare. Neither the cognitive models of writing development, nor the descriptions of poet-practitioners or inspired experts give a fully nuanced representation of the complexity at play in poetry composition. Also missing from these models is the social context of learning to write poetry. We link Vygotsky's work on the symbolic function of inner speech to documented accounts of poets 'answering' the social world to which they belong. We propose a theoretical model of development in poetry writing that takes into account learners’ fluid social contexts, and which draws on Schultz and Fecho's survey of writing development. This fusion is a new contribution to theorisations of writing development.
