Poets featured in the festival also have been featured in the March 2014 issue of POETRY Magazine. There is not much mathematics in these poems but, in a tribute to Adrienne Rich, poet Anne Waldman includes these closing lines:
move in parallelograms
getting it right as she did
and, in a tribute to dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, poet Wang Ping includes these phrases:
. . . Ai Weiwei . . . 11 weeks have passed . . . 81 days and nights .
. . 1,944 hours . . . that's 6,998,400 heartbeats from each of us . .
. whose heartstrings are tied to yours . . .
