Poetry in Math Journals

         The Mathematical Intelligencer (publisher of the poem by Gizem Karaali given below) and the Journal of Humanistic Mathematics (an online, open-access journal edited by Mark Huber and Gizem Karaali) are periodicals that include math-related poetry in each issue.  For example, in the most recent issue of JHM, we have these titles:

Articles:
     Joining the mathematician's delirium to the poet's logic'': Mathematical Literature and Literary Mathematics     by Rita Capezzi and Christine Kinsey
     How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways for Syllabic Variation in Certain Poetic Forms     by Mike Pinter

Poems:

     Computational Compulsions     by Martin Cohen

     Jeffery's Equation     by Sandra J. Stein

     The Math of Achilles     by Geoffrey A. Landis

And here, from Gizem Karaali, is a poetic view of the process of mathematical discovery:  the blank white page, the muddy flow of thoughts, the clarity that eventually (sometimes) blooms:

The Colors of Math       by Gizem Karaali

White in the beginning --
       color of the empty page

foreign symbols
scribbled frantic illegible
       ants scurrying about on snow

               I       Blue blaring screen a blinking cursor . . .
 
A mild early spring breeze --
           inspiration
           and
                a cold

sniffling red nose
blood on your manuscript
red like anger red like hate
---Would you like some carrot cake?

damn coffee!
           burn your fingers stain your notepad

                it HAS to get muddy and brown before it blooms
