{"product_id":"adaptations-poems-9798991413473","title":"Adaptations: Poems","description":"Adaptation as trope, science, and story is a throughline in this collection. Its title nods both to accommodations to change as well as correcting\/resisting a variety of existential, environmental, and historical toxins. In free verse and fixed forms, and in a variety of styles and idioms, a central speaker acts as a Greek\/pop chorus, singing songs about an imperiled natural world as well as the tragi-comic adaptations of human being. The collection concludes with a Mobius strip series, \" On Evolutionary Adaptability: A Cthulucene, Sonnet Crown.\" These final poems ask the reader to participate in a decentered human, activist planetary repair rather than adapt to the sufferings of climate-driven doom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Writers Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798991413473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Va Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51495041794229,"sku":"9798991413473","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_dc5d1a63-591b-420a-92d3-b163713b7308.jpg?v=1754973755","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/adaptations-poems-9798991413473","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
