Extremely Expensive Mystical Experiences for Astronauts

By Dara Barrois/Dixon

We face life-changing incidents and stories, sometimes never-to-be-repeated-once-in-a-lifetime-remarkably-rare experiences, and these occasions haunt us, we obsess and we return to them. We believe they make us who we are. We return to them as evidence of something that gives meaning to our lives. We spend time realizing by means of them what has not previously occurred to us. These may be episodes, ordeals, trials, shocks, traumas, storms, violence, other-worldly adventures or physical upheavals or one word one person once said to us, resulting in what we call on-going epiphanies and life-marking.

I've always wanted to write poems that appeal to someone else's desire to put into words what seems impossible to put into words. In other words, I try to write poems that in some way or another honors and pays homage to poetry itself for being available to us when we need it to do what only it can do in the way it does.
