Описание:
The poems in Alexandrina Sergio's OLD IS NOT A FOUR-LETTER WORD are as expansive of heart as they are witty and energetic.Danielle Pieratti writes: "With wisdom, candor, and witty defiance, the poems in Sandy Sergio's Old Is Not a Four-Letter Word observe life through eyes simultaneously prudent and fresh. Hers is a world viewed with earned distance, where ordinary encounters--a visit from a solar salesman, a chance meeting with a biker, a glimpse at a child carrying his saxophone home from school--are endowed with a touch of the divine. Even an artichoke holds a secret. In savoring the mortal, the temporary, these poems make one long for permanence." David K. Leff adds, "Time is a haunting, bodily presence in Sergio's poems. She wrestles elegantly with the years in a language that would be poignant at any age.

Описание:
Because Sarah Glaz sees "a streak of mathematics in almost everything," this book of poems is a work of alchemy. Light rays in the sky, lines of gold, become x and y axes. The square root of 2 becomes a symbol of the irrationality that drove her family from Romania to Israel. Small stones stand for the calculus (in Latin) and the integral sign is a snake (in Leibnizian). The transcendental number e covers three pages laced with equations, first appearing as a pirate, then Euler's namesake, then a peacock's tail and finally a poetic star. Logic proves its own inability to prove with cymbals and umlauts. The precious fruit of labor is both a baby and a theorem, depending. The fabric of the universe is algebraic; lemmas are blue, corollaries orange, theorems purple. The poet's backpack is full of theorems, and commutative rings grow in her garden instead of weeds. A ghazal utters a gazelle, water becomes wavelets, and sunshine weaves the Golden Ratio into everything it covers. Train tracks converge at infinity, defying Euclid's Fifth Postulate. Don't miss these transformations Emily Grosholz, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University; author of The Stars of Earth, New and Selected Poems.
These poems tell Sarah Glaz's story, from childhood in Bucharest to her mathematical life in Israel and the US. Surprising, rich and complex, they invite us to a journey through letters and numbers, with an ever-curious mind. Philip Holmes, Eugene Higgins Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Applied and Computational Mathematics, Princeton University; author of Lighting the Steps: Poems 1985 - 2001.
This eloquent collection twines the history of mathematics with the story of a woman mathematician - the patterns, travels, discoveries that shape her life. Sarah Glaz deftly explores the dance between numbers and letters, and between the joy of "proof" and the inevitable limits to certainty. In such expert hands, the language of math and the language of life reflect each other beautifully. Alice Major, Recipient of Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Artist Award; author of Standard Candles and Intersecting Sets: A Poet Looks at Science.
Poetry is the most intimate voice we have and Mathematics the most transcendental. In Ode to Numbers these voices sing together wonderfully. Barry Mazur, Gerhard Gade University Professor, Harvard University; author of Imagining Numbers (particularly the square root of minus fifteen).

Описание: The poems in ""Songs of The Glens of Antrim"" by Moire O`Neill, were, in her own words, written `by a Glens woman in the dialect of the Glens, and chiefly for the pleasure of other Glens-people`. They conjure up a world now gone and also places that have remained, and are now enriched by the memories of by-gone people and times.
