Description
In 1962 Martin Gardner published an article about a remarkable poem. As far as I know, his is the only scholarly article that has ever been published pertaining to this poem. There is a rich and particular connection between poetry and the more popular topics that are typically covered at the Gardner meetings. Prose and the other literary art forms do not seem to share this connection. Douglas Hofstadter, for instance, has always been especially interested in poetry. This month (March, 2018) the following appeared in the NY Times: "[Ada] Lovelace, ... who was the daughter of Lord Byron, the Romantic poet, had a gift for combining art and science ... She thought of math and logic as creative and imaginative, and called it 'poetical science.' "
