Bio

James Ph. Kotsybar is the first poet to be published to another planet. Repeatedly chosen for special recognition by NASA, his haiku currently orbits Mars aboard the MAVEN spacecraft, appears in the mission log of The Hubble Space Telescope, and was featured at NASA's Centaur Art Challenge at IngenuityFest, Ohio.

Invited by the president of European Academy of Sciences Arts and Letters, he performed his poetry before an international audience of scientists, journalists and the real Troubadours in their founding city of Toulouse, France, at the EuroScience Open Forum and earned a standing return invitation.

Yes,
it's
very
possible
for a bee to fart,
but even on the quietest
Spring morning, the sound must be subsumed under its buzz,
and, even in hive, there's no apology for tiny poofs of floral potpourri.
