2. JoAnne Growney’s blog, "Intersections -- Poetry with Mathematics" (at http://poetrywithmathematics.blogspot.com ) has recently offered poems about and by women-mathematicians.

- July 14 features a poem about Hypatia by Ellizabeth Tollett (

http://poetrywithmathematics.blogspot.co....mart-woman.html ); this poem is one of an ongoing attempt to find and expose poems about math-women; it was earlier offered in a feature about Tollett in Ellen Moody’s blog at http://ellenandjim.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/foremother-poet-elizabeth-tollett/ )

- July 17 features “Euclid’s Algorithm” Emily Galvin; the word patterns for this poem follow the numbers produced by applying the algorithm to a chosen pair of numbers. The link is http://poetrywithmathematics.blogspot.com/2012/07/algorithm-shapes-poem.html

3. We at SRPR are thrilled to announce the release of issue 37.1, chock-full of great poetry by the likes of Jean Valentine, Hoa Nguyen, Shane McCrae, Joanne Kyger, Norman Fischer, Rachel Zucker, and Jeff Friedman, among many others. Check out a chunk of wild new poems by our featured poet, Joshua Corey, as well as a substantial interview with Corey. In the SRPR Review Essay, Becca Klaver offers an incisive tour of "performatic" poetics while discussing new books by Kaia Sand, Cecilia Vicuna, and Anne Carson. Cover art by the fabulous installation artist Carol Emmons completes the issue.

Stay tuned for the next issue, due out in December: IL featured poet Linda Gregerson is interviewed by Joanne Diaz; Joyelle McSweeney writes a long essay on poetry and violence; and the 2012 EP winners, selected by David Baker, will appear alongside lots of great new poems (Laynie Browne, Michele Battiste, Lisa Samuels....).
