MEANings by Larry Lesser
Mathematics Professor Lawrence Lesser, Ph.D. provides us with a couple of mathematical visual poems:
These were part of a paper:
Lesser, L.M.(2011) "Making Statistics Memorable: New Mnemonics and Motivations," in Proceedings of the 2011 Joint Statistical Meetings, Section on Statistical Education, 1118- 1124.

Kaz Maslanka at Crafton Hills College
I was honored to be a part of the Parallels:Medicine+Art show at Crafton Hills College. On March 28th, I gave a lecture on mathematical visual poetry as well as having a couple of pieces in the show. Here are a few photos from the event.
Here are the two pieces that were displayed in the show. "Newtons Third Law In Karmic Warfare"
and "Singularity at Vulture Peak"

Clara B. Jones and Hamilton's Rule
The following piece was submitted to me by Clara B. Jones. I would classify this piece as an illustration of an equation.
In this piece we can see W.D. Hamilton's Rule expressing when it benefits "ego," an Actor, to help a Recipient, an individual of the same species. I designed the image, and the artwork was drawn by Liz Williams. I, also, include a brief bio. Thank you for considering my work. Sincerely, clara b. jones

The Pedagogy of Moonlight
Here is a new 'proportional poem' titled "The Pedagogy of Moonlight" - the image is a photo shot in the very early morning moon light at an old abandoned schoolhouse in the Cedar Swamp area along the west bank of the Delaware river a few miles east of Townsend Delaware along route 9. (see if you can find it on Google street maps) There is a thunderstorm off in the distance and a breeze evident in the clouds. The muses whisper this mathematical poem to me and demand me to share it with you.
There are four ways to solve this equation with each variable or you can set it up in proportions where it will read:
"Pining the Infinite" is to "Lost Mathematics" as "The Wind of Time" is to "Obscure Sorrow"
--OR--
"Pining the Infinite" is to "The Wind of Time" as "Lost Mathematics" is to "Obscure Sorrow"
