This book spine poem was inspired by American poet Robinson Jeffers, whose work I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.
The Home Planet
Wind in the rock,
Rain, snow, dune.
The desert; waves and beaches.
Wonderful life.
The economy of nature.
Rare Earth.
With gratitude to the authors of the books: Kevin W. Kelley & the Association of Space Explorers, Ann Zwinger, Cynthia Barnett, Orhan Pamuk, Frank Herbert, John C. Van Dyke, Willard Bascom, Stephen Jay Gould, Robert E. Ricklefs, and Peter D. Ward & Donald Brownlee.
For more on the inspiration from Robinson Jeffers, I refer curious readers to The Answer.
