NUMBERS IN VERSE is a poetry mic event celebrating Fibonacci Day through the intersection of mathematics, poetry, and creativity.  
Hosted in celebration of Fibonacci Day — November 23  
  
What happens when numbers become words?  
  
What happens when equations become emotions, patterns become poetry, and mathematics becomes a way to tell the story of who we are?  
Fibonacci Day is celebrated on November 23 because 11/23 reflects the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... Each number is generated by adding the two numbers before it.  
But we're interested in more than the numbers.  
We're interested in the stories inside them.
