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!
