About Space Exploration

In his latest collection, John poetizes literary journalism, science, science fiction, and science fantasy. The ventures into outer space are born out of mankind’s natural curiosity and perhaps also as a means of the anticipated survival of our species, but the exploration is tempered with a longing for home. At times, there is a nod to the human condition, ecological responsibility, and to the sacred beyond science. This collection strives to make literary poetry and genre poetry an inseparable fusion.
