Before purchasing this anthology (found at a math conference) I had never seen a collection of mathy poems -- but then, many years later, I helped to edit one (Strange Attractors: Poems of Love and Mathematics). Today I offer an old favorite from Against Infinity -- the poem "A Visit to Mathland" by Naomi Replansky (born May 23, 1918):
A Visit to Mathland by Naomi Replansky (for M., Z., and L., citizens thereof)
I was a timid tourist
to the land of mathematics:
how do you behave in a country
where Reason rules?
