{"product_id":"the-metaphorest-martin-settle-9781646629084","title":"The Metaphorest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMetaphorest\u003c\/em\u003e is a neologism created by Martin Settle the author of this work by the same name. It is the synthesis of words \u003cem\u003emetaphor\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eforest\u003c\/em\u003e. The themes of \u003cem\u003eThe Metaphorest\u003c\/em\u003e fit into many of the new words and terms that are becoming salient in these times - Symbiocene, Wood Wide Web, Anthropocene, Grammar of Animacy, Mutualism, and Mycorrhizal Networks. Settle believes we cannot express ourselves adequately without the metaphorical values of nature. We become less than human and linguistically impoverished, if we cannot as he does, use: jewelweed as a metaphor for desire, giant puffballs for the beginnings of thought, moss as existential survival, bees as Trappist monks, and peepers as the poet's goal. The last poem of this collection is an overview of all the masks of nature that Mr. Settle has tried on in order to be able to write \u003cem\u003eThe Metaphorest\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Settle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646629086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646629084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.11d","brand":"Martin Settle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078196064511,"sku":"9781646629084","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dba678fa-a229-44e4-a7aa-711f0eed5c8a.jpg?v=1685474092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-metaphorest-martin-settle-9781646629084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
