It’s my 4th writing anniversary! It’s been another exciting year with more wonderful literary journals and editors publishing my work, as well as one of my poems landing on the moon. I’m also excited to announce that I’m moving to @IowaCityofLit in August!
IM-1 Mission Vehicle Health Update 🧵
1/6 The IM-1 mission Nova-C class lunar lander continues to be in excellent health, and we are preparing for our engine commissioning maneuver.
Following nominal launch vehicle separation, the spacecraft autonomously brought up all sensors and radios. Odysseus listened to the Inertial Measurement Unit to determine attitude rates and activated the Reaction Control System to nullify those attitude rates as designed.
@mazzysleep’s poem will be on a third mission to the moon!“ringed winged” is included in the Serenity Collection of the #LunarCodex set for 2024. For now, our eyes are on the @Int_Machines Nova-C lander which is currently scheduled to launch Jan 12-16 and land Jan 19-21.

Playing a game. Numbers
Drop one by one.
Tink and drip. You open your
Eyes. Where is everyone?"

"For your mouth had already
Gone, your ears were melted wax,
There was no use for secrets
By then, in the far-off daylight"

I was really inspired by the #GriffinPoetryPrize Readings with Robyn Creswell and @Imanmersal, @adalimon, @Musgravian, Ocean Vuong, and Griffin winner Roger Reeves. I feel lucky that I got to meet them all. @griffinpoetry and @OpenBookON, thank you for a night I’ll never forget.
How will @MazzySleep's poem get on the moon? It'll be part of the #LunarCodex payload on the @Int_Machines Nova and @astrobotic Griffin lunar landers. This is a great news segment to understand more about them!
The moon is quickly becoming the next economic frontier in space — and two startups are hoping to stick the landing, working to ace delivering cargo to the lunar surface.
“It’s within our grasp. Let’s go get it,” the CEO of @Int_Machines told CBS News.
