Seven uni-verses: Poetry on all that space evokes
Booklet published worldwide in ebook, print, audio, libraries, and public archives.
Seven uni-verses is a pamphlet of poems dedicated to humanity’s exploration of the universe. There’s nothing quite as bold and beautiful as committing to venturing the brutal colossal desolation that is space. Every (civil) space launch carries not just hardware but hope. The act of exploring the void makes humans special.
As someone who has dedicated his work life to space, I’ve written these verses over the years to attempt and capture the sheer intensity of emotions and intellectual ambition the cosmos and its exploration evokes. I love poetry, and have an innate desire to merge it with my first love—space. While my poems are intended to be read by everyone, many lines allude to technical concepts for those in the know to savor. A few key references as well as backstories are mentioned in the endnotes.
About me: I’m a globally published and cited space writer & journalist, and invited speaker. I author Moon Monday, the world’s only blog & newsletter dedicated to the exploration of our Moon by countries worldwide.

The core text of this book—the poems—are published under the freedom-supporting CC BY-SA 4.0 license. This means you’re free to adapt & repurpose my poetry and (re)distribute it as long as you credit me as the author of the original text, and as long as your adaptation is available under the same license for others to do the same.

Open access
To support global open access, and in the same vein as my blog, I’m making the ebook and PDF of Seven uni-verses available for free on my website. The book is also listed on multiple online platforms worldwide for $0 wherever allowed. For print versions where the distribution costs cannot be $0, and for online platforms like Amazon which don’t allow a $0 listing, I’m providing the book at minimum viable prices which cover printing & binding costs, distribution charges, various platform fees, their royalty cuts, and myriad currency conversions. This effort is over and above catering to accessibility needs as well as releasing the core text of my work under the freedom-supporting license described above.
