Donna Fleischer's new creation myth e-chapbook: Baby in Space

Half Day Moon Press welcomes Donna Fleischer's e-chapbook Baby in Space (HDMP No. 16) into our ever-unfolding cosmos. It is, as Fleischer notes, "a new creation myth for the 21st century," and is "encapsuled" with not only spanking-new life but even a nod to pre-Olympian Mnemosyne. The poem's DNA sequence of building-block verse spirals outwards once sounded out:

shoulders round'

birth curve

of earth

spinning

for the sun

its only moon

eyes twinkle

hand in space

sunning

sky

Of

mother's

eye

and later on:

baby's bottom

the cradle of

her hand

bauble baby

bubbles

babble

dada

day moon

Out too

range of clouds

pour in mountain

moving

and so forth....
