El segon certamen de poesia en pilish del Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) ja té guanyadors: Xavier Lasauca i Lola Dagà han estat els autors més votats pel públic, que ha pogut escollir els seus poemes preferits a través de les xarxes socials del centre.
Xavier Lasauca, un dels guanyadors del certamen, amb el seu exemplar de Armas de destrucción matemática, de Cathy O’Neil.
La convocatòria d’enguany ha recollit nou textos participants i un total de 168 vots, en una edició que ha tornat a combinar creativitat, rigor formal i una bona dosi de joc literari.
El pilish és una forma d’escriptura que segueix la seqüència de dígits del nombre π (3.141592653…), de manera que cada paraula del poema ha de tenir tantes lletres com el dígit corresponent. Aquesta estructura tan peculiar posa a prova la inventiva de qualsevol autor: com mantenir sentit, ritme i bellesa sota una restricció numèrica tan estricta?
Els poemes guanyadors han estat premiats amb exemplars dels llibres Armas de destrucción matemática, de Cathy O’Neil, i Logicomix, d’Apostolos Doxiadis i Christos Papadimitriou. Però sobretot s’enduen el reconeixement d’haver sabut fer poesia amb π com a brúixola.
A continuació, podeu llegir els nou textos participants d’aquesta segona edició del concurs. Gràcies a totes les persones que heu fet possible aquest petit gran homenatge matemàtic-literari!
