1 Writing Poetically through the Moving Body: Finding Rhythm, Presence and Resonance Joanne Yoo , 2022 single work criticism
— Appears in: New Writing , vol. 19 no. 4 2022; (p. 468-477)

'Creative writing bears many similarities to the moving body. Well-crafted writing is derived from the senses and follows the body’s natural rhythms. It is animated by the intent or voice of the author and resonates with others on an equally deep and authentic level. Embodied words flow at the right pitch to engage readers in mutually resonating play. Writing creatively involves accessing the body’s natural intelligence to craft words that breathe with life.' (Publication abstract)

1 A Year of Writing ‘dangerously’ : A Narrative of Hope Joanne Yoo , 2019 single work essay
— Appears in: New Writing , vol. 16 no. 3 2019; (p. 353-362)

'This paper documents a year of writing dangerously to discover creative forms of inquiry that generate impact through emotional resonance. Such writing is defined as ‘dangerous’, as it involves exploring non-traditional and creative approaches, such as expressive, narrative, embodied and poetic writing. ‘Dangerous’ writing is often motivated by having the end in sight, as an awareness of limited time can help academics to prioritise personally meaningful work. Writing dangerously embodies an individual’s fundamental beliefs about an academic career worth having.' (Publication abstract)

1 Creative Writing and Academic Timelessness Joanne Yoo , 2019 single work criticism
— Appears in: New Writing , vol. 16 no. 2 2019; (p. 148-157)

'Time is a rare commodity in the academy. Academics are often inundated with multiple teaching, administrative and coordinating tasks, which detracts from time for creative writing and research. This paper discusses the problem of time poverty in academia. It proposes that engaging in creative modes, such as expressive, embodied and poetic writing, can generate a sense of timelessness. Timelessness will be defined as the sensation of fixed or frozen time, where academics are so fully engrossed in an encounter that they are unaware of time passing. Creative writing can evoke such timeless moments by connecting academics to intrinsically meaningful work that gives them pleasure.'  (Publication abstract)

1 Writing Out on a Limb: Integrating the Creative and Academic Writing Identity Joanne Yoo , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: New Writing , vol. 14 no. 3 2017; (p. 444-454)

'Academic writing in higher education research is commonly perceived as the process of ‘writing up’ knowledge rather than exploring ideas. As a result, the potential to use creative writing approaches to develop and relay meaning has often been overlooked. This article investigates creative writing as a rich and meaningful mode of representation in academia. It argues how dominant institutional discourses inhibit personal voice by favouring objectivity, and further affirms that researchers need to oppose the pressures of academic writing by ‘coming into’ one’s creative writing voice and consciousness. It is anticipated that using literary and poetic devices to relay the writer’s personal and creative voice can generate research that encompasses the full richness of human experience.' (Abstract)
