The Cosmos is Alive
By Keith Gaboury
The Cosmos is Alive is a time-bending journey into the “unmapped atmosphere” where the “cosmos is alive,” a live, lithe, many-armed serpent of possibility and imagination. From The Lunar Kingdom to The Planet X Soap Opera, you might find The Milky Way in L.A. or make a pit-stop at The Moon Country Museum and Bar. Here in the far reaches of space, we are gifted a “cosmic sight,” a view of the Moon, a fresh perspective of the whole of Earth in its “pocket of light” as Outer Space “slavishly / pipes the unity of gravity into our universe. Bring your “alien heart,” and “gather as one nucleus” as poet Keith Gaboury gives us so many wonderfully strange and daring ways to return home.
Jennifer K. Sweeney, author of How to Live on Bread and Music
Gaboury’s ambitious, lofty poems celebrate science fiction from its pulpy beginnings to its futureless present.
