So states the first line of Christopher Buckley's new poetry collection \u003cem\u003eChaos Theory\u003c\/em\u003e, setting the tone of casual erudition, an atomic fusion of the personal and the cosmic. The book's theme is a perennial one: \u003cem\u003eChaos Theory\u003c\/em\u003e is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data. True to his word, Buckley gives us \"Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop\" by Little Anthony \u0026amp; The Imperials: - '... particles; the cathedral of the atom, and Gunsmoke, The Whistler, Mr. \u0026amp; Mrs. North-- \/ zooming past \/ the cosmic street lamps, ' bids us make the connections along with him. It's a startling, deliriously pleasurable enterprise, poem by poem. As we reach the end of our cosmic journey through \u003cem\u003eChaos Theory\u003c\/em\u003e, we feel like one of the imagined aliens huddled at last around Voyager's Golden Records on some distant planet, understanding dawning in her eye or ear, as an x-ray of a human hand and snowflakes over Sequoia appear on a hologram, followed by a recording of the greeting \"May all be well\" in Ancient Sumerian and the brainwaves of Ann Druyan considering human violence and poverty and falling in love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 02, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722108178495,"sku":"9781941196533","price":45.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/e3e90c5877089eed603af9d956349ec3.webp?v=1765094629","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/chaos-theory-paperback-1","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
