Vulnerability Variable Poetic Inquiry (VVPI)

Vulnerability Variable Poetic Inquiry (VVPI) is a practice‑led meta‑methodology that uses original poetry, autoethnography, and phenomenology to investigate the relationship between universal truths and deeply personal experience in the context of mental illness, addiction, and recovery. This 102‑page document presents an early doctoral‑level “teaser” of the framework, including aims, objectives, methodological grounding, and partial (P)Article examples that demonstrate VVPI/VVP in practice. For instructors, this record also provides a structured PDF teaching guide and an Articulate 360 SCORM package designed for integration into LMS‑based graduate qualitative methods and creative writing courses. Together, these materials invite both researchers and teachers to explore, test, and adapt VVPI as a rigorous, vulnerability‑centered approach to poetic inquiry. This document is an early preprint of the Vulnerability Variable Poetics (VVP/VVPI) framework. A fuller doctoral‑level thesis and an expanded portfolio of nine (P)Articles and a codified 1,000‑page poetry corpus are in development.
