Going To The Moon!

Well, I’m not going to the moon but my poem “Luna” is, as part of The Polaris Trilogy anthology, specifically commissioned for the Lunar Codex – the first significant placement of contemporary arts on the Moon in over fifty years. The Polaris Collection will be launched in 2024 via the Astrobotic Griffin/NASA VIPER mission, landing in the Nobile Crater, in the vicinity of the Lunar South Pole. A poet’s dream! – at least one poem surviving my earthly passing lol. I’m in good company too – writer friends Stephanie Harper and Robert Okaji plus much-loved poets like Ted Kooser, Marianne Boruch and Rhina P. Espaillat are included. The book is wonderfully diverse; if you’d like a copy, you can purchase it here in Canada or here in the USA. My “Luna” was written a very long time ago and I’m thrilled to have it onboard this mission. Many thanks to Lead Editor Joyce Brinkman for her stellar work in putting this together!

  1. Congratulations Lynne!! What a cool “thing?” in so many ways. The poetry of having your poetry on the moon. What a dream… and accomplishment. The idea makes me so happy, I can only imagine how you feel. And that said – the poem itself is absolutely beautiful! Stunning imagery and concept.

  2. How exciting! And your poem though written many years ago seems mysteriously destined to go to the moon. Having many rowing memories this poem is particularly compelling for me. 🌹 🌹 🌹
