Happy World Poetry Day, 2022
In the words of Albert Einstein (1879-1955),
"Pure mathematics is,
in its way,
the poetry of logical ideas."

March 21 -- World Poetry Day
Yesterday poetry was celebrated around the world -- the Guardian reported the event with mention of Cafés around the world that offered a cup of coffee in exchange for a poem. The occasion caused me to turn to one of my favorite international collections, The Horse Has Six Legs (Graywolf, 2010) -- an anthology of Serbian poetry translated and edited by poet Charles Simic. On 29 April 2011 I posted "Forgetful Number" by Yugoslav poet Vasko Popa (1922-1991) -- and here is another of Popa's poems. This one is part of a cycle of poems about "the little box" and it involves recursion.
Last News about the Little Box by Vasko Popa
The little box that contains the world
Fell in love with herself
And conceived
Still another little box.
