Stop and Smell the Fractals (and Everything In Between)

Stop and Smell the Fractals (and Everything in Between) explores the connection between mathematics and poetry, focusing on patterns within the natural world and in everyday perceptions of life. Accessible to, math lovers, poetry lovers, non-mathematicians, and even self-defined "math-haters," Stop and Smell the Fractals carries the reader through the human experiences of grief, peace, dissonance, joy, and everything in between, highlighting patterns within oneself and in one's surroundings. The collection, brought to life by Arkansas native Caroline Jennings, is narrative, confessional, and (hopefully) something everyone can relate to. In short, the Stop and Smell the Fractals sends that the message that math is everywhere, laced in the path of floating leaves on asphalt or lingering in the breath of an infant-you just have to find it.
