A poem about dealing with the psychological aspects of traveling to space. “Read interviews / with sailors, astronauts, Houdini, / anyone who has lived in a box.” I loved the rhythm of this one and how it worked well with the flow of concepts. I need to pick up Francine Rubin’s chapbooks now!
Take care,
