A lavish and wonderful celebration of connections between mathematics and the arts is the annual international BRIDGES, Mathematics and the Arts Conference. This year's conference took place last month (July, 2025 in Eindhoven, Netherlands) and one of its special events was a poetry reading.
Information about the poets and sample poems are available here at the website of Sarah Glaz (mathematician-poet and coordinator of the BRIDGES readings). Below I have included one of these very special poems:
View no Fiery Night by Marian Christie
No
one
went to
the tower
to vie with the foe.
Fretting, worn, we rove in night fog ––
the ring, the theft, the vow forgotten. Hovering high
over the town, the frightening wyvern, whirr of her winging interwoven with fire.
