Here is a selection from "The Mathematician," a long poem -- found in its entirety in The Rumpus -- by Oregon poet Carl Adamshick and recommended to me by poet R Joyce Heon -- for a sample of her ekphrastic poems, follow this link and go to pages 37-42. And this link leads to more poems (in this blog) starring mathematicians --- and a few of them are women!!
from The Mathematician by Carl Adamshick
What I do is calculate.
I’ve always seen the world as numbers,
buildings and trees factors,
math as a language better suited for explaining
how things work
than the formula of grammar.
