Mathemaku

1988, Bob Grumman, Mathemaku II, main title

Each mathemaku’s math was central to it, not just an ad hoc ingredient in a some section of it. [¶] I was quite pleased with what I’d accomplished, but for some reason was only able to add a single unfinished mathemaku to my mathe-poetic oeuvre over the next twenty years or so.
