I've bragged about coulda-been Mrs. Xmastime Ada Límon on these pages forever, whether it's her books of poetry or being an answer in the New York Times (or, as I call it, "The Times") crossword or, unbelievably, her becoming US Poet Laureate this year.
But this...THIS is on a whole new level. Her name and words will live on for the next 5 billion years, until it allllllllll collapses into the Sun. Incredible. Just crazy incredible.
I have been wanting to share this news since I first got the call. I have the extreme honor of crafting an original poem that will go on the spacecraft @EuropaClipper to Jupiter’s second moon Europa! It’s the most intimidating and inspiring prompt I have ever received. https://t.co/DFyUg1onPY

Hey, at least I'll always have moments like this one!!!...until her people call and demand I scrub it from the site 😬
