In honor of the end of National Poetry Month, we wanted to share a poem from bestselling author Ellen Hopkins upcoming (adult!) novel, TRIANGLES (Atria, 9781451626339, October 2011).

TRIANGLES, by Ellen Hopkins

Scientist say every action

Initiates an equal and opposite

Reaction. I say that’s just the start.

I say

                every action initiates a most

                unequal and unpredictable

                chain reaction, that

every

                filament of living becomes

                part of a larger weave, while

                remaining identifiable. That each

line

                of latitude requires several

                stripes of longitude to obtain

                meaning. That every universe

is part

                of a bigger heaven, a heaven

                or rhythm and geometry,

                where a heartbeat is the apex

of a triangle.

 Until next year!
