Frangible emotion becomes tangible expression: Poetry as therapy with adolescents
Australian Counselling Research Journal, Vol.13(1), pp.14-19

Abstract
This article investigates a range of literature, research, and therapeutic outcomes associated with Poetry Therapy as a therapeutic modality for supporting adolescents. Poetry Therapy has been shown to be an effective counselling tool when engaging with adolescents and their experiences of transition from childhood to adulthood. Like all creative arts therapies, Poetry Therapy can strengthen self-understanding and be a bridge between known and forgotten aspects of the psyche. While there is a growing evidence base that strongly suggests Poetry Therapy is effective, there are recommendations to strengthen the reliability of research outcomes.
