Earlier this year I posted about poet Bob Grumman's periodic column in Scientific American. Yesterday he was featured again in a column about the juxtaposition of math, poetry, and art. Interestingly Grumman's work features Monet's The Regatta at Argenteuil, the reproduction of which hung on my wall all during college. Enjoy.

What's Neat on the Net: Visual Edition
Combinations of poetry and the visual have been showing up on my screen all week. Here are a few of them:
1. The first is the release of this year's National Poetry Month poster. See below. Check out past year's posters here.
2. The second is a series of guest blog posts about mathematical poetry in Scientific American online. They are all written by mathematical poet Bob Grumman, and feature his work as well as that of many others. Pieces tend to include some kind(s) of mathematical element, as well as words and visual imagery. Here's an example below (and if Mr. Grumman or Scientific American is unhappy about my reproducing this here, please let me know and I'll take it down):
Here are the articles in the series, displaying a wide array of styles while still using the elements mentioned above:

M@h*(pOet)ica - Happy Holidays! (Check out Gary Barwin's "Circle of Ifs") (link to this misbehaves; go to last blog post on list, scroll down and link from there)
M@h*(pOet)ica - Circles, Part 3 (This is the last post. You can link to all posts from this one. Scroll to end.)
3. Lastly, at Maria Popova's Explore blog, a video explanation of why yellow in the room without you isn't yellow on your computer screen.
