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*
