How Have Mentoring Practices in the UK Shaped the Contemporary Poetry Ecology?

在英国诗歌生态学中占主导地位的指导实践和指导方法是什么（1970-2021）？这对当代诗人有什么影响？对今天的诗歌生态有什么影响？深入挖掘，供应方面的差距是什么？这些差距、技巧和实践如何塑造了我们对自己作为作家的看法？我们对自己写作身份的概念是如何塑造诗歌生态的？职业诗人和诗歌作为一种幸福实践的指导方法是如何交叉的？它们有共生关系吗？这些都是我的研究试图回答的基本问题。揭示这些问题--并使研究结果可以自由获取--将揭开诗歌生态的神秘面纱。目前，诗人可能需要几十年的时间才能找到最适合他们需求和抱负的指导模式，因为他们开始时对自己的选择几乎一无所知，或者说，诗歌世界是如何运作的。拥有现有关系和资源来探索多种类型的指导的诗人将不可避免地更容易地浏览生态，因为他们将有效地获得一张地图，让他们开始。这项研究旨在提供一个地图，可以给所有的诗人，让更多的人可以从事诗歌。它希望允许诗人选择使用哪种指导方法。这项研究旨在让我们更好地了解我们目前的生态是如何存在的，以及某些期望、限制和假设仍然在塑造生态。它试图提供一种语言来描述辅导实践和指导，这反过来又可以被辅导员用来磨练他们的辅导。资助者可以利用这种洞察力来塑造他们未来的呼吁或指导和政策。我将导师制定义为：在大学和区域发展组织内外提供一次性或长期支持，旨在使诗人掌握技术工艺技能和技巧，了解不同的实践和文学运动，并了解诗歌生态。我将诗歌生态定义为：作家，教育家，出版商，写作组织以及更广泛的文化和传统的网络。

What are the dominant mentoring practices and pedagogies in the UK poetry ecology (1970-2021)? What effect do these have on contemporary poets? What are the consequences for the poetry ecology today? Drilling down, what are the gaps in provision? How have the gaps, pedagogies, and practices shaped how we think about ourselves as writers? How has our concept of our own writing identities shaped the poetry ecology? How do mentoring approaches for career-poets and poetry as a wellbeing practice intersect? Do they have a symbiotic relationship? These are the fundamental questions my research seeks to answer. Answering these questions -and making the findings freely accessible- will demystify the poetry ecology. Poets can currently take decades to discover the modes of mentoring that suit their needs and ambitions best, since they begin with little awareness of their options, or indeed, how the poetry world operates. Poets with existing connections and the resources to explore many types of mentoring will inevitably navigate the ecology more easily because they will, effectively, be given a map to get them started. This research aims to provide a map that can be given to all poets, so that more people can engage with poetry. It hopes to allow poets to choose which mentoring methodologies to utilise. The research aims to allow us to better understand how our current ecology has come to exist, and how certain expectations, limitations, and assumptions are still shaping the ecology. It seeks to provide a language to describe mentoring practices and pedagogies, which in tum can be used by facilitators to hone their mentoring. Funders may use this insight to shape their future calls or guidance and policy. I define mentorship as: one-off or long-term support both within and outside of universities and regional development organisations, designed to equip the poet with technical craft skills and techniques, awareness of different practices and literary movements, and with knowledge of the poetry ecology. I define the poetry ecology as: networks of writers, educators, publishers, writing organisations, as well as wider culture and traditions.
