Amy Uyematsu is an award-winning poet who by day switches from right to left brain to teach algebra and geometry in public high school. The result of her poetry-math life is a fascinating, far-flung but surprisingly connected book that interlinks mathematics, poetry, politics and spirit. Stone Bow Prayer is a remarkable journey in which—as one poem suggests—“Geometry Gets Mixed Up with God and the Alphabet,” and the infinite and minute nurture one another.
Stone Bow Prayer Reviews
-
This was an underwhelming read.
-
Absolutely gorgeous. I especially gravitated towards the poems where she chose to employ math-related metaphors because they're rarely done well but they were fantastic here.
-
Delightful, personal, well written collection.
