⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
“...a luxurious spaceship, loaded with 8,000 evacuees, fleeing an Earth made uninhabitable by Man‘s technological arrogance. A malfunction knocks the craft off course, taking these would-be Mars colonists on an irreversible journey into deep space.”
I‘ve always had a rocky relationship with poetry, so reading an epic poem didn‘t really seem like a great idea, but the premise sounded interesting, so I gave it a go anyway. ⬇️

shadowspeak17 I did struggle with parts of it (particularly in the middle), but I made it through and actually enjoyed it. It‘s both bleak and beautiful. Unfortunately, the English translation is out of print, but there are a few places it can be read online for free.
