Math can lead us to Poetry . . .

      As I age and find myself slowing down in my math-poetry ventures it is a delight to see other mathy writers surging with energy and thoughtful publications.

     One frequent source of math-arts connections is Sarah Hart, Professor Emerita of Mathematics, School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Birbeck University, London.  Here is a link to an article by Hart containing material excerpted from her collection Once Upon a Prime:  The Wondrous Connections Between Mathematics and Literature (Flatiron Books:  New York, 2023).  

     Once Upon a Prime is a prose explanation completed with frequent literary examples.  Here is a poem that her daughter, Emma, wrote "for Mummy's book." 

          Endless numbers
          You could count them till you die
          It can outlive the universe
          That is Pi.

An ongoing source of mathematical outreach is MoMath -- New York's National Museum of Mathematics, a site visited by Sarah Hart -- and the museum's website offers links to lots of math (but not poetry) videos, but only this single picture for Hart's visit.  I did, however, find a sequence of visual slides about Haiku; here is the first (five more here at the MoMath website). 

Anaya Willabus is an award-winning writer and soccer player.

Here is a link to more Haiku about math!
