Remembering Bob Grumman . . .

      Recently I discovered an online article — “Bob Grumman’s mathematical universe: somewhere, minutely, a widening” by mathematician-poet Sarah Glaz) at Synapse International, an international visual poetry gathering, co-edited by Philip Davenport and karl kempton) that celebrates the work of math visual-poet Bob Grumman (1941-2015)..  When I visited the article by Glaz, I also found several other articles that celebrated Grumman — found here at this link for Issue 7, January 2024.     Below I post two of  Grumman’s Mathemaku — visual poems that involve mathematical symbols and the brevity of Haiku; one of them is found in the article by Glaz mentioned above and the second is found here (along with others) in an article by karl kempton.Mathemaku by Bob GrummanMathemaku by Bob Grumman
