My poem “ringed winged” has made it to the moon again! It was aboard Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander, which successfully landed early this morning. Thanks to @Semaphore and the Lunar Codex for giving my piece a home in outer space!

Prairie, Dresses, Art, Other by Danielle Dutton - Ridiculously awesome book idea & flawless execution. The essay in this should be everybody’s introduction to the genre imo
