Good Fortune by JoAnne Growney
is good numbers—
the length of a furrow,
the count of years,
the depth of a broken heart,
the cost of camouflage,
the volume of tears.

BRIDGES, 2018 -- math-art-poetry -- in Stockholm
During each summer since 1998, mathematicians and visual artists, poets and musicians, have gotten together at a BRIDGES conference to celebrate the overlapping connections of their arts. This years conference, BRIDGES 2018, will be held July 25-59 in Stockholm. As she has done in several previous years, mathematician-poet Sarah Glaz has organized a poetry reading as part of that event; this link leads to information about the participating poets. Available for purchase, a poetry anthology with work from past and present Bridges poets. The small poem offered below is one that is featured in the anthology.

"Good Fortune" also is found in my collection, Red Has No Reason (Plain View Press, 2010).

After I posted the info above, I got an email from Sarah Glaz, letting me know that the University of Connecticut has experienced a power outage -- which has affected some of the links offered above. If they don't work for you now, please try again later!
