Mathy Poets -- Gone but Alive in our Memories

     In a recent NYTimes article I have learned of the passing of poet-mathematician Jacques Robaud (1932-2024) who was a key figure in the development of OULIPO (an organization that has explored writing using a variety of constraints).  Here is a link to Robaud's poem "Amsterdam Street."

     Today's Washington Post offers the obituary poet and scientist Myra Sklarew (1934-2024).  Sklarew  was a DC resident and activist -- and is featured in these past postings in this blog.
