Carol Dorf is fascinated with the boundaries between disciplines―mathematics and poetry―prose poetry and lineated poetry. For the past fifteen years she's taught mathematics, and led an occasional poetry workshop. Recently she's tried to bring her loves together by introducing poetry into the mathematics classroom, and teaching poetry writing to mathematics teachers. Her poetry has been published in many journals including: Antiphon, Spillway, Sin Fronteras, Qarrtsiluni, The Mom Egg, Unlikely Stories, The Prose Poem Project, and Poemeleon, and anthologized in: Not A Muse, Best of Indie New England, Boomer Girls, and elsewhere. Her poetry book, Every Evening Deserves a Title, appeared with Delirious Nonce Publications in 2013. She is poetry editor of the online literary magazine Talking Writing, and teaches mathematics at Berkeley High School. Her article on mathematical poetry appears at:

JoAnne Growney has loved poetry since she found A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson on a family bookshelf.  Her own poetry collections include Red Has No Reason (Plain View Press, 2010) and My Dance Is Mathematics (Paper Kite Press, 2006). While a professor at Pennsylvania's Bloomsburg University, she integrated relevant poetry into her mathematics classrooms, and the collection begun there has developed into a blog, "Intersections -- Poetry with Mathematics" at http://poetrywithmathematics.blogspot.com. Besides this blog and several articles connecting poetry with mathematics, JoAnne has been active in collaborative projects with visual artists, poets and mathematicians, and in translation of Romanian poetry.   Located in Silver Spring, MD she offers writing workshops for mental health clients, writes poems and prose, and encourages her grandchildren to love both mathematics and poetry.

Alice Major has published nine poetry collections and a book of essays, Intersecting Sets: A Poet Looks at Science (University of Alberta Press, 2011). Among her awards are the Pat Lowther Award for poetry and the Wilfrid Eggeston Award for non-fiction. Her interest in mathematics began at the age of twelve, when she was introduced to non-Euclidean geometry in one of Martin Gardner's books.  Ever since, like Percy Bysshe Shelley, she turns to math and science "to replenish my store of metaphor." She has been president of the League of Canadian Poets, first poet laureate for her home city of Edmonton (in western Canada), and is the founder of the Edmonton Poetry Festival. In 2012 Alice was inducted to Edmonton's Arts and Culture Hall of Fame. Additional information is available at:
