Abstract
In the United States, April is National Poetry Month as well as Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month. The author gave an invited mathematical poetry reading/talk online on April 23, 2021, jointly sponsored by the mathematics department, English department, and writer’s workshop program of a public research university in the central United States. This paper shares specific opportunities and challenges of such a joint presentation, as well as discusses a post-presentation anonymous feedback survey completed by n = 12 (of 18) attendees.
