Verse and Variable

Verse and Variables: A Symphony of Science and Souls is a genre-bending collection that blurs the line between poetry and physics, myth and method. Gerald McCandless invites readers into a beautifully constructed paradox: a world where scientific principles are rendered as lyrical metaphors and timeless human emotions are mapped like elegant equations.

Each piece in this collection is a poetic experiment-grief expressed through entropy, pride distilled through cellular replication, envy forged in thermal expansion. These poems do not merely describe; they translate, transform, and transmute, offering fresh lenses through which to view both the known and the unknowable.

Drawing from the language of chemistry, biology, astronomy, and ancient mythology, Verse and Variables seeks to awaken the logical and the mystical in tandem. Whether you are a scientist with a secret love for myth or a dreamer with a curiosity for the cosmos, this book was written to strike a chord in both hemispheres of your mind.

This is not just a poetry collection. It is a conversation between atoms and archetypes, formulas and feelings-a symphony composed for those who hear music in both the data and the dark.
