I loved the vibes of this. I was expecting horror themes, because of what an escape pod brings to mind, but it definitely felt more hopeful to me. I'm very interested in what your inspiration was for this? :3
Viewing post in a poem for the current occupant of this escape shuttle comments
Thanks! I made this for Sunday Zine Club #14, which had the theme of stars :) I started with looking for collage material in the Smithsonian Open Access Collection, mostly from the NASA part of the collection (and the National Museum of American History + A. Henry Wheeler's paper polyhedral models from another Open Access collection, which were particularly inspiring). For the title, I didn't want to be restricted by the words/collage pieces I had found for the poem itself, and hopefully found the right words to contain it all. I wanted the poem in this escape shuttle to feel more hopeful, yes, of escaping whatever horrors you may be leaving.
