It's a collection of my math poems, Judy--but it includes my explanatory 
introduction, and most of them are long division, not algebra. 

Here's what's at Lulu about it:

"Collected in Bob Grumman's book /April to the Power of the Quantity 
Pythagoras Times Now/ are almost two decades' worth of mathemaku, a 
personal genre of his that combines elements of visual poetry, 
mathematics, and haiku. Always the poet of the topical constraint, 
Grumman writes mathemaku that restrict themselves to a narrow range of 
subjects (spring, poetry, language, light) so he can divert all his 
effort into creating remarkable engines of poetic imagination where 
language, color, images, and mathematics conjoin to form stunning 
ineluctable gestalts. Drawing from his early pre-long-division mathemaku 
and his more recent forays into color and ever-increasing formal 
complexity, this book brings together a hearty sampling of the best of 
Grumman's mathemaku, including such masterworks as "Mathemaku for Ezra 
Pound" and "Seaside Mathemaku." A lifetime in the making, this book is 
not to be missed." *—Geof Huth*
