Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry and physics dance in this collection inspired by metaphors drawn from chaos theory and quantum mechanics.
Mathematics can graph the heart's chaotic rhythm, but this poetry moves with that rhythm. From the strange attractor who disrupts life's laminar flow to the mysteries of sensitive dependence and hurricanes in space/time, Dancing With Chaos links science and poetry in a passionate tango.
