Of this winning poem from 3rd Wednesday’s annual poetry contest, Judge Marilyn L. Taylor said:
“This very visual, beautifully written short poem could be read as a crash course in what scholars call “philosophical biology.” Any attempt to paraphrase it would do it zero justice, but my takeaway is that the poem suggests– (in only nine lines, crisscrossed with stark aviary imagery)– the difficulty of existing simultaneously as an organism and a mathematical concept. I find it an exceedingly thought-provoking meditation on the nature of reality.”
