Numerical Landscape by Eveline Pye
Like a tracker, I smell the earth
on my fingers, listen for the slightest
echo as I stare out at a world
where bell-shaped curves loom

Things the fingers know
Blogger Peter Cameron sent me a link to an lively article, "Eveline Pye: Poetry in Numbers" in the September 2011 issue of the statistics magazine, Significance. Written by Julian Champkin, the article tells of Eveline Pye -- lively and interesting Glasgow statistician, teacher, and poet -- and includes a selection of her work. One of the poems offered therein is "Solving Problems."
