(3) K-3 Illustrated by Peter Sís . This poem commemorating NASA's Europa Mission (the author’s note provides context) bridges inner space and outer space, using the mystique of moons, suns, and stars to launch a biophilic mediation on the awe, hope, heartbreak, relationality, and joy of earthly existence. Sis’s signature symbolist illustrations blend pointillism with blue watercolor washes and references to stardust theory, astrology, van Gogh’s The Starry Night, the mythical tree of life, and sacred geometry. A lyrical invitation to marvel at our wondrous planet.
