This is a creative writing post (#31) from my occasional series for paid subscribers, who can also leave comments on most posts. As always, email hollymathnerd at gmail dot com if you would like a paid subscription but can’t afford one.
This is a poem I wrote with a magnetic poetry set, and likely to be the only good poem I’ll ever write. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to expressing something of how and why I regard mathematics to be sacred. Those of you who are poetry people but not math people will at least sense the depth, I hope, just as I hope the math people are in for a treat.
Work-work has me stressed out of my mind and I’m unlikely to write anything new for awhile, so I thought I’d share this instead. Enjoy.
