Abstract
BACKGROUND The writing, craft and study of creative nonfiction has been an expanding and developing field in the academy, but poetry is frequently neglected amidst these discussions as a potentially productive medium for nonfiction content. In 2011, I established 'Rabbit: a journal for nonfiction poetry' as a pioneering platform through which poets and essayists could explore what poetry can do as a nonfiction medium. This folio presents my own response to the question: 'how can poetic devices contribute new dimensions to nonfiction writing?' CONTRIBUTION This portfolio of poems gathers individually published works that continue my creative and critical foray into the field of nonfiction poetry. 'Firebird,' 'Mr. B's Women,' and 'Jewels' each put forward an attempt to represent an aspect or aspects of ballet choreographer George Balanchine's life and experience, using nuances of poetic language--line, rhythm, metaphor, visual play etc.--to 'meet' historical details about that character through writing. Those poems derive from archival research at NYC Public Library and the Balanchine Papers at Harvard. 'Lend Me Your Ears' and 'Frames' are politically motivated poems, responding to current events and issues such as refugees and cultural blindness. SIGNIFICANCE I was awarded the 2014 Marten Bequest Travel Award in the category of poetry to research George Balanchine's life and career at the New York City Public Library and Harvard's Houghton Library. These poems arose from that research. 'Firebird' was shortlisted for the prestigious Montreal International Poetry Prize. 'Lend Me Your Ears' and 'Frames' were solicited by the respective editors of the publications, based on my reputation as a contemporary Australian poet.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
