So to keep up with my strange postings, today is strange (bad?) space poetry. I like the drawings that are VERY late 60s with spacecraft and other images mixed together. I also like his approach to using our Space Race as an inspiration to think about what people had done and what they might do. Your mileage may vary :) At least I can safely assume you have never seen this before.
Roberts, Burgent. Spacewalks : Poems for a Moon Age. New York: Harper and Row. (90 p.) 1971.
Can't really believe he signed this book to Grace Slick and Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane).
Wow. Truly strange, and comically awful. No wonder Grace Slick & Paul Kantner gave it away to a thrift store. A great find!
