Like her first chapbook, The Poet Who Loves Pythagoras, this book is a series of light-hearted poems that asks the reader to look at the world from a new perspective.

The poem \"Poetry Exercise\" plays on the meaning of the word \"exercise\" with the line \"Brain cells stretch, lift your arms, reach for words.\" Phrases are deconstructed into literal meanings, such as in the poem \"Beside Myself\" that asks, \"Am I myself or the one beside myself?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection illuminates the quirks of the English language in a lively, humorous way while demonstrating a love for words themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 26, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51779150512416,"sku":"9798989153114","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/6165a05eff2eba0fb6c43eff6bd825d4.webp?v=1780512656","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/arranging-words-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
