TL;DR: In this paper, the authors interviewed five expert poets about their creative practices and conducted a thematic analysis comparing these practices to key findings concerning the nature of design expertise, focusing on three behavioural equivalences that appear to be associated with poetry composition and innovative design: the role of "sources of inspiration" in contextualizing activity and in informing the creation of novel solution ideas.
