Observationism: Conjecture and Refutation Found in Ordinary Life

By: Trousdale, Steven

"Observationism"

What happens when you really start to notice everything?

Observationism is a bold, playful, and thought-provoking collection of 50 original poems that refuse to sit quietly in one genre. Moving effortlessly between humour and philosophy, satire and sincerity, this book turns its gaze on the world and then back on itself.

From the absurdities of modern life to the deeper questions of science, identity, and belief, these poems explore what it means to live, think, argue, laugh, and belong in a constantly shifting world. Expect sharp political commentary, nostalgic reflection, experimental forms, and moments of unexpected warmth; all stitched together by Trousdale's curious, observant voice that never stops asking why.

Whether it's poking fun at quantum theory, questioning success, revisiting childhood, or challenging the narratives we tell ourselves, Observationism invites you to look closer at everything.

"Observationism: Conjecture and Refutation Found in Ordinary Life dances between the wit of Good Omens and the philosophical curiosity of The Tao of Pooh, inviting readers to see the extraordinary in the everyday through clever, provocative poems that linger long after the final line." - NewInBooks

Inventive, irreverent, and quietly profound, this is poetry for readers who enjoy wit with substance, structure with surprise, and meaning hidden in plain sight.

Look again. There's always more going on than you think.
