Here’s a poem, (which I’m pretty sure has never been printed on paper, but will be soon!) by Neil Gaiman, The Mushroom Hunters…

“the poem went on to win the Rhysling Award for best long poem and has now been brought to new life in a soulful short film, animated by artist Caroline Rudge and Creative Connection Animation Studio, narrated by Amanda (Palmer), and with music by the otherworldly talent Jherek Bischoff….dedicated to trailblazing astronomer Maria Mitchell and celebrating women’s underheralded contribution to science, he delivered something of singular enchantment — a work of lyrical storytelling tracing the history of our species as the sense making, truth-seeking animal who hungers for knowledge and advances by love. At its heart is an imaginative antidote to women’s erasure from the selective collective memory we call history.” words by Maria Popova taken from https://www.themarginalian.org/
