A poetry event that I often enjoy is the posting by the Academy of American Poets of a poem-a-day -- today's poem is found here and information about the posting is found here at Poets.org. my background in mathematics helped me to be especially pleased early this month (on 2/2) when the daily poem (written by poet and artist Brad Walrond) was entitled "Calculus I, II, III" -- and if offers reflection on different levels of learning.
