The news we need, “without which men die miserably every day†(William Carlos Williams)—in this case, news that we ALL came from Mars. From Kabir to Shakespeare to John Muir to Gary Snyder, we’re celebrating what poets make of science news, or rather poet’s sciency news, considering the recent discoveries about our life roots in rocky Mars. We’ll hear bossy and helplessly enthusiastic poems about what we should do on earth right now, with reverence and joy in each other and all this world has always been and has in store. © Barbara Mossberg 2013
