Had a wonderful time interacting with this group yesterday over eight of my poems (The Gap*, A Poem Is**, The Joshua Parade***, Serious Cloud Bank***, Your Precious Love, Fencing, Skunk and Seal, and Just) and introducing them to my very inspirational poet friends *Tanya Ko Hong, **Linda Ravenswood, and ***Alexis Rhone Fancher who read some of their fine poetry as well. As a bonus I also introduced them to the marvelous Ellyn Maybe who was in the audience, and she read one of her besties too. (Asterisks indicate who inspired me to write which poems.)

I screenshared titles from the seven sections of my new book A Poem Is and invited members of the audience to select which ones they wanted to read and hear. They chose: Stellar Sonnet, Appreciation, C.A.T., What better way to eat on Mother's Day..., The pantoum rose this morning, and Xmas. For a requested encore I read my newest poem, March 11th, and followed that with a peek at the Four Feathers Press online edition for this month, Pie Sighs; I shared and read my poem on there, Do you sigh when you eat your pie?

THE VAGABOND LUNAR COLLECTION

It's my great honor and privilege to present to you the poets of THE VAGABOND LUNAR COLLECTION, an anthology created specifically to be included in the payload for the Polaris rocket, which will be launching to the moon in November 2024.

127 poets have been selected for this special mission to the moon, to preserve the very best of our arts, culture, poetry and humanity, as part of the internationally protected record of lunar artifacts in perpetuity.

This, my friends, is as close to immortality as it gets.

Thank you so much to Samuel Peralta for inviting me to include this collection in the Lunar Codex!
