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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Louie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820357901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820357904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 7.70w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 70","brand":"Diane Louie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995872723199,"sku":"9780820357904","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ae6b4ef-ed96-4295-8dc6-c4a2486e3902.jpg?v=1683338358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fractal-shores-diane-louie-9780820357904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
