{"product_id":"fractal-shores","title":"Fractal Shores","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarlo Rovelli, Italian physicist, says that \"the world is not a collection of things, it is a collection of events.\" Poet Diane Louie thinks of prose poems as little events. They are happening \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e happenings. They draw on experience, image, metaphor, and all the properties of language to create little worlds-in-motion: spinning while orbiting, actively shifting our point of view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore genus than hybrid species, prose poems can straddle the obvious limits and less-obvious liberties of perception. This active characteristic of spanning and connecting is especially relevant in a time of cultural polarization. Marrying, even uneasily, the inquiries of science and spiritual longing can illuminate what they—and we—have in common: a desire to understand our presence in a universe that does not yield ultimate answers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54249086812504,"sku":"9780820357904","price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780820357904_8d8f10fc-fb3b-4124-8a4a-ed6b27c948df.jpg?v=1781701243","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fractal-shores","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
