Wisława Szymborska is a Polish poetess. She was awarded the Nobel prize in 1996. 
She's great because she writes accessible poetry, not the type that some pseudo-intellectual poets write, as if you needed an IQ of 314 to understand what the hell they are talking about. Her poetry is beautiful and moving, cheerful and entertaining.
One of her poems deals with the number pi. Ain't that nice. This is an extract, in Spanish:

¨El admirable número pi
tres coma uno cuatro uno.
Las cifras que siguen son también preliminares
cinco nueve dos porque jamás acaba.
No puede acabarlo seis cinco tres cinco la mirada,
ocho nueve ni el cálculo
siete nueve ni la imaginación, ...¨
