The Butterfly Effect has a dual purpose. It is both an example of my art and my intellectual curiosity. My thought-experiment-turned-book consists of 100 poems. Each poem starts with the last word of the poem before it. In this way, everything is connected. This mimics the scientific principle of the butterfly effect, which states that everything is connected, even something as small as a flap of a butterfly's wings. Some of these poems are connected only by a single word, covering completely different topics with completely different rhyme schemes. This book is dedicated to my grandparents, my mom's parents, Mom Mom and Buddy. They were always so supportive of my writing. It was so much fun to tackle this project, even though it was difficult.
