Playful and even zany, the humor in these poems pulls readers into a world filled with noble lions, crafty foxes, predacious wolves, longsuffering asses, and fashionable peacocks. Chappell illustrates how the fable offers a timeless form of wisdom, surprising us with revelations that challenge what we think we already know, along with fresh observations of daily experiences. With its informal, even nonchalant tone of address and lush, polished language, \u003ci\u003eAs If It Were\u003c\/i\u003e endows homespun materials with alchemical insights.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44556763463725,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_7fc7360d-a733-4663-a701-bf2f471ca78c.jpg?v=1769315648","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/as-if-it-were-poems","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
