Synopsis

The Poet Who Loves Pythagoras is a collection of light-hearted poems on such topics as algebra, fractions, Newton's Third Law, inertia, Pi, and other math and science subjects you probably studied in school. Read deeper and it's a commentary on life and love. Fran Abrams loves Pythagoras because his theorem always works, whereas life does not offer much that is certain. In her poem "Ice Cubes," you'll understand about relative density as the cubes float in your glass of scotch. Algebra helps you decide whether to buy that candy bar. Percentages are simply fractions with fancy symbols. With titles like "Poetry is a Word Problem," "Define Infinity," and "Solve My Life," these poems will have you appreciating poetry, math, and science from a refreshingly different perspective. Poet Sandra Beasley says of this book, "Readers who prize the consideration of big questions, balanced against agile specificity of phrase, will delight in this quirky collection."
