Let's solve this subtraction problem:
Women do the job
minus the recognition.
____________________________
The "found poem" above is from a headline for an article by Petula Dvorak in the Washington Post on 21 August 2015. Dvorak's full headline was a bit longer, "Women do the job minus the training and recognition." (Indeed Dvorak's article portrays the military as an even more difficult environment for women than the STEM fields.)
Also found in the Post (this past weekend) an enthusiastic review by Marcia Bartusiak of Eileen Pollack's The Only Woman In the Room: Why Science Is Still a Boys' Club. Another problem to solve!!!

Add and subtract to get . . . a minimalist poem
Thinking today of poet Bob Grumman (1941-2015) with special gratitude for the way he expanded my poetic horizons. For example, he introduced me to this addition-subtraction minimalist poem by LeRoy Gorman -- called "the day":
un + s = up;
up - s = un.
More information about Gorman and several more poetry samples are available here.
