 Poetry:    

 Do you love mathematical poems?  If the answer is yes, you are in for a treat!
 Watch out for Strange Attractors at the book display during the Joint Mathematics Meeting  in Washington DC, January 5-8, 2009.
 The volume contains over one hundred and fifty mathematical love poems I collected and edited together with JoAnne Growney.
 To celebrate the publication, JoAnne is organizing a reading of  mathematical love poetry at this meeting on January 7, 7-9 pm.
 All are welcome. For more details about the reading please contact JoAnne.

  For your pleasure here is a small sample from the collection:

  The poem that started it all:                                      Moon Compasses
                                                                                    by Robert Frost

                                                                I stole forth dimly in the dripping pause
                                                                Between two downpours to see  what there was.
                                                                And a masked moon had spread down compass rays
                                                                To a cone mountain in the midnight haze,
                                                                As if the final estimate were hers;
                                                                And as it measured in her calipers,
                                                                The mountain stood exalted in its place.
                                                                So love will take between the hands a face...

 And two other poems:                             from The Cyberiad  by Stanislaw Lem
