This workshop introduces participants to two poetic forms with mathematical content, one ancient and one modern: the sestina and the Golden Shovel. Similarities and differences are highlighted and participants are guided through the process of writing their own poetry in each of these forms. At the end of the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to share their poetry. Educators who attend this workshop will find that the methods they learn can be easily adapted for secondary students or post-secondary students in a math course for non-science majors.
