A poet whose work I have long enjoyed, C K Williams (1936-1915), died a few days ago. (You may find a generous sample of his poems online -- for example at PoetryFoundation.org and Poets.org.) Williams is a poet whose writing does not tend toward mathematics but his very fine poem "Tar" (about the Three Mile Island nuclear plant crisis of 1979, a year when I lived in Pennsylvania not far away) has a few numbers. I present below the first stanza of "Tar" and, beneath it, a link to the rest of the poem.
from Tar by C. K. Williams
The first morning of Three Mile Island: those first disquieting,
uncertain, mystifying hours.
