I recently wrote a poem called Instructions Before Visiting Earth. I didn't think much about it, but after posting on Instagram, it took on a life of its own.
It's now been read or listened to by over 100 million people, translated into several languages, performed at Coachella, and featured in Vogue.
The full poetry collection will be published by Andrews McMeel in 2027.
Weaving together themes such as death, romance, digital isolation, aliens, and the modern search to rediscover God, this book offers an invitation to deeper presence in a strange and turbulent world.
