This poetry collection speaks the language born of the meeting between a mathematician and a poet. The poet is the mathematician’s persona, and the mathematician is the poet’s other self. To the poet, mathematics is poetry, and poetry is mathematics. Through this book, he seeks to reveal how these two languages—spoken differently—live the same life. Thus, in his poems, we witness the beautiful blossoms that bloom where the two converge. The scattered equations across the pages resemble illustrations of the cosmos, offering visual delight along the journey. Gi-Cheol Jeon (Poet & Critic)<표사글> 전기철.

Viewed through the lens of a passion for truth, mathematics is philosophy in its purest form. It is a solitary yet beautiful pursuit, driven by an idealist captivated by the desire to approach the order and principles of the universe—traversing between abstract thought and the tangible world. The poems in this collection capture moments of fundamental wonder and joy encountered by a dreamer on an irreversible journey. You-Joong Kim (Literary Critic and Professor)

This book explores traditional mathematical themes—such as Pythagoras, pi, and equations—through the refined poetic sensibility of a scientist and poet, woven into the current of history. The author’s vivid imagination shines as he unlocks the secrets of numbers from Ramanujan’s notebooks beneath a night sky filled with countless stars. It invites readers to perceive the profound and beautiful concepts of mathematics through the eyes of the heart.
