    A menudo, la vida laboral y personal se entrelazan; la autora reconoció que una colección de poemas que había escrito durante los últimos años versa sobre rupturas emocionales. Los poemas tratan las desavenencias románticas o de amistad y de la creación y pérdida de identidad que éstas conllevan. La autora presenta los poemas y los vincula de manera explícita con la literatura de rupturas de relaciones a través de la técnica del análisis poético. Este análisis es un ejemplo de cómo la poesía, al ser un texto performativo, contribuye de manera valiosísima a la investigación de la comunicación interpersonal a través de la poetización de desencuentros como reto relacional cotidiano.

    Often, themes in work and life intertwine; the author recognized that a cadre of poems she had written during the past several years were about relationship dissolution. The poems concerned romantic and friendship dissolution and the aspects of identity creation and loss this entails. The author presents the poems and makes an explicit connection to interpersonal relationship dissolution literature through the technique of poetic analysis. This analysis serves as an exemplar for how poetry as performative writing offers a valuable addition to interpersonal communication research through the poeticizing of relational dissolution as an everyday relational challenge
