Hi. I have a select tag and onChange={({ target }) => redirect(/?poem=${target.value})} attached to it which doesnt redirect me when clicked.

redirect() is for server, useRouter() is for client

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'

const router = useRouter();

  onChange=(() => router.pushState('{YOUR_URL}'));

redirect() returns an http response with a redirect status code along with a Location header, useRouter will use JS on the client side
