Geof Huth's Mathematical Poetry # 1



I would like to share a series of mathematical poems by the Visual Poet Geof Huth. The next four days will be dedicated to this series. What I find interesting is that they are almost totally pure mathematical poems and not visual mathematical poems as such. This may surprise some because Geof is such a strong force in the visual poetry movement. These poems are so rich mathematically that making them work as mathematical visual poems would be extremely difficult. Geof tells me he plans to add visual poetic elements to these pieces so it will be interesting to see what he produces.

You would have to ask that question to Geof Huth. He is pretty easy to find if you Google him.

I have provided many tools to help one access mathematical poetry. One that could be helpful is this video:
