Remembering Poet Edwin Morgan
Neil Gaiman recently tweeted on a cool comics adaptation of The First Men on Mercury, by Scots poet Edwin Morgan that was circulated in the UK for 2009's National Poetry Day. Morgan sadly died on 17 August.
You'll remember Mercury: the poem is a beautiful contemplation of the merging of alien languages as a metaphor for space exploration and discovery. A report on the 2009 adaptation by Metaphrog is at Forbidden Planet International here.
