I received my contributor’s copy of Star*Line in yesterday’s mail; my poem “Outward Voyage” is on page 24. It is sequentially related to “Endings,” which was in the July/August 2009 issue of Star*Line. In “Endings,” we see the last day of earth through the eyes of a person in a temporary dwelling on Mars–at least, as I interpret it. In “Outward Voyage,” there is a momentary reflection of a person on a star ship that’s bound for a new planet to settle on…still looking backward, as we do when momentarily disoriented by momentous changes in our lives or immediate surroundings.
