Poems by Wislawa Szymborska:
Pi, A Word on Statistics
and A Large Number.

The Nobel-prize winning poet Wislawa Szymborska often uses numeric or mathematical images in her work. Through these, she speaks to the vastness, the abstractness, the unknowns of the world, but with a wry, humorous touch. These volumes offer a visual interpretation of three mathematically inspired poems, seeking to enhance the poetic imagery with inventive typography and original illustrations.
