BRIDGES Poetry -- and Clerihews

    One of my favorite mathy publications is the Journal of Humanistic Mathematics, an online peer-reviewed journal published twice yearly by the Claremont Colleges Library and edited by Mark Huber, Claremont McKenna College, and Gizem Karaali, Pomona College.  The most recent issue -- (Vol. 14, issue 2), available online here.  The screen-shot below shows the poetry-contents of this issue.

One of the FUN readings in this JHM issue is the second item above -- a collection of brief and whimsical biographical poems called clerihews, gathered by E. R. Lutken.  Here is a sample (and the rest of the clerihew collection is available at this link):

For lots more clerihews, go here.

AND we find lots more thoughtful poems that feature mathematical ideas in Lutken's collection, Manifold:  poetry of mathematics (THREE:  A TAOS PRESS; Denver, CO, 2021).   More information here. 

AND the 2024 BRIDGES Conference ends today -- here is a link to some of the math-poetry offered at a reading held there yesterday afternoon.
