Mathematical Poetry at Bridges
The poetry readings at the Bridges conferences present a range of mathematical poetry from traditional to multimedia and from lyrical to visual. The programs start with a number of invited readings, followed by an open mic period.
Bridges participants are encouraged to read their own mathematical poems at open mic. Interested? Please contact Sarah Glaz by email or in person at the conference. More information at: Call for Open Mic Poems!
