I offer poetry workshops for Peer Wellness and Recovery Services -- and PWRS coordinator Miriam Yarmolinsky invited me to go with her to the very fine DC Fringe Festival event featuring Leah Harris -- and Leah is also a poet whose work I found in the anthology Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken Word Revolution -- where I also found "Do the Math" -- a crowd-pleaser by a 2002 slam champion Meliza Bañales -- available here on YouTube and included below. Enjoy!
Do the Math by Meliza Bañales
The equation goes something like this:
one white mother plus one brown father divided by two
different worlds
equals a daughter.

Math rap
Harry Baker is a Slam Champion who studies Maths at Bristol University, UK -- and his poetry sometimes features math, often having fun with the topic. His web page has a link to a rap about maths and at the JMM reading in Boston in 2012, Baker submitted this rap, 59 (a love story, now on YouTube), for presentation that evening.
