Applied Mathematics by Dan Simpson

Unlike many a debut poet, Dan has given this collection a thorough stress test on the live circuit, and many of these poems have been commissioned for public projects. Dan is a poet who likes to play around with form. He likes to deconstruct and get a bit meta with the mental algorithms that sit beneath a poem.The result is an accessible and enjoyable collection of poems for geeks, nerds, and anyone who likes playing with words.
"Quantum poetry at its most precise and powerful" Joelle Taylor; "Dan Simpson is brilliantly funny and super smartHe's the kind of guy you take home to your mother. If your mum is really into excellent poetry." Anna Freeman
