The meaning of this headline can, of course, only be understood by reading the article.

re-discover the poetic in the popular

Meaning the poetic "thing" in the popular "thing".

The original is artsy-fartsy non-sense, without a gram of unequivocal meaning. Recover does not cut it.

neutral Refugio : Why "out of"?

meaning "a partir de: from. As in: "xx can be used to get information out of the log", what do you thinK ? (I´m open to criticism) ...
neutral Michele Fauble : This is just not something a native English speaker would say. "Recover from". "Popular" is not used as a noun in English.

take back / reclaim

I would use either "take back" or "reclaim" for recuperar. It denotes something that was originally lost / taken away.

Returning Poetry to Popularism

Another suggestion, as its a title either a gerund or a noun ("The return of etc) sounds best

I suggest pop art because good folk art has never even been in danger of losing its intrinsic poetic nature.

disagree William Pairman : "Lo popular" has nothing to do with pop art, it just means "what is commonly liked"

Nothing to do, William?
