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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Jennifer K.

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.
