Math, Poetry, and AI

     Recently I came across a math-poetry article here in a newsletter published by the University of Illinois, Springfield -- an article entitled "Navigating the Intersection of Math, Poetry, and AI: The Crossroads in Helena Soares’ Pursuit."  The article shares poetry by Soares -- who is a student majoring in both mathematics and English -- and also includes a brief essay by her, entitled "A journey through math, AI, and poetry."   Here is a poem by Soares from that article:  

"This Fundamental Theorem"    by Helena Soares

       Connecting you and I, 
       Purely defined by 
       ∫ points in us, 
       Is a state 
       Of deep =. 
       For while contained, 
       This fundamental theorem 
       Of us 
       Holds indefinitely.

Soares' poem is found online here -- and here is a link to a video in which Soares tells about her creative work.
