New poem in Astropoetica
You can read my poem “A Hail of Pebbles and Dust” in the 2011 Winter issue of Astropoetica!
It was inspired by conditions hypothesized to exist on the surface of exoplanet COROT-7b (and a few other things you’ll be able to guess).
Also, something about my choice of words… In English – or in Hungarian for that matter! – “tribal” carries very strong negative connotations, it is often used as a synonym for “primitive”. As someone from a tribal culture, I really resent this and do everything to dispel the association. Someone from a tribe, in space? Bring it on!!
“Primitive” is also a really relative concept, for that matter – who is primitive? I have been called primitive quite a few times, mostly on account of my religious beliefs, and I think I’m quite modern. Look, I even have my own website!
