In this volume Anirudh Sridhar explores the contest between poetry and mathematics in their quest for truth. Close readings of British and American poetry from the 1920s to the 1960s reveal how modernist poetry asserted the poetic medium as best capable of representing reality in ways beyond the reach of mathematics.
