The Cosmos is Alive is a time-bending journey where the "cosmos is alive," a 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. We are gifted a "cosmic sight," a view of the Moon, a fresh perspective 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 Gaboury gives us so many wonderfully strange ways to return home. -Jennifer K. Sweeney,…mehr

The Cosmos is Alive is a time-bending journey where the "cosmos is alive," a 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. We are gifted a "cosmic sight," a view of the Moon, a fresh perspective 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 Gaboury gives us so many wonderfully strange ways to return home. -Jennifer K. Sweeney, author of How to Live on Bread and Music There's a new ultimate trip and Gaboury is our director. He'll fly us from a galaxy where we'll "trip / on some cracked dark matter" to The Apollo National Park to see "...a glass case / showcasing Armstrong's / first footprint..." Gaboury celebrates science fiction from its pulpy beginnings to its futureless present. His people are brown-baggers, miners, pulling shifts at The Photon Refinery with their heads "...swirling / at the intersection of host and desire / under the only sky" they will ever know. Gaboury's images and lines elucidate the collision of a space opera and a blues sung by Martian farmers. Gaboury dazzles! -Peter Jay Shippy, author of How to Build the Ghost in Your Attic The speaker of the poem, "Blood in the Cosmos," articulates the brazen project of The Cosmos is Alive: "I look upon the cosmos / like a body sliced open / by my eye of precision / asking questions / under constellations I praise." Gaboury's musings over space legends couple with a down-to-earth reckoning directed towards an earthling's concerns. Every type of unexpected flotsam washes up, as in Planet X Soap Opera, in which, of all things, "flat-earther / swam into the Atlantic, / seeking to breaststroke off the globe." Read The Cosmos is Alive and experience the thrill a mind like Gaboury's milking cosmic strangeness can summon. -Tom Daley, author of House You Cannot Reach
