A word from the editor:

​

This edition is particularly special as we explore the timeless inspiration of the cosmos. From the twinkling stars to the vast expanses of the universe, the celestial wonders above have always stirred the hearts and minds of poets. In this issue, we delve into how these eternal muses have shaped poetry across the ages, bringing you a collection of works that capture the beauty, mystery, and awe of the cosmos.

​

We are also thrilled to spotlight the remarkable Stephen Castillo, whose powerful verses and unique perspective have captivated our editorial team. Alongside his work, you will find thought-provoking articles such as "The Eternal Muse: Poets and the Cosmos" and "Poetry from Space: Messages from Astronauts and Scientists." We hope these pieces inspire you as much as they have inspired us. Thank you for joining us on this cosmic journey through poetry, and as always, we deeply appreciate your continued support and passion for the written word.
