On the other hand, each poem is an experiment: a new half-life crisis every day, a barely recognizable sports car, so wants to be seen as something new and different. The title of the volume is, as are many of the poems, intended to recognize the ability of a metaphor to induce change, e.g., if eating ice cream is correlated with sunburn then eating ice cream leads to being abducted by aliens. The author learned in graduate school that, as does the zero vector, any symbol worth its salt will point with equal enthusiasm in all directions. What it's all about is either Alfie or the Hokey Pokey and the lyric poet doesn't presume to choose, but they cordially invite you to. A sentence from one of the poems presents this invitation as an opportunity: \"The path of least resistance far from fixed, what this continuum is missing is concurrent birdsong.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of 79 experimental poems uses language as a form of dance, taking us into realms of wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47982533902557,"sku":"9781737621935","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/yIH2xw3Vt19781737621935.webp?v=1780271808","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/when-correlation-is-causation-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
