I credit poetry for making this space-walk possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writing poems is a chance to construct spaces that I want to imaginatively inhabit.
Poems are perfect for something to listen to while you're walking around because they don't take very long.
Poetry is this gorgeous, complex history rendered in verse and song, a blueprint that can lead you back into the world after you've walked into air.
I've already written 300 space poems. But I look upon my ultimate form as being a poetic prose. When you read it, it appears to be prose, but within the prose you have embedded the techniques of poetry.
Poetry is more a threshold than a path.
I turn to poems to find spaces that might enlarge, rather than distill, experience.
The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can't touch.
We all need ways to express ourselves, and poetry is one of mine.
I think there is a poem out there for everyone, to be an entrance into the poetry and a relationship with it.
If you want poets in space, you'll have to wait.
