Poetry is for everybody. If more publishers and newspapers and magazines and media in general treat poetry like something that is present, accessible, in demand, and marketable like they do other genres, they will see more and more people reading and buying poetry books. Truth.

As if they are walking the whole country to the execution
But shoot just one of us”

Most distant object known to humanity.
Found by JWST, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant galaxy ever discovered. It's located 13.6 billion light years from us, and since it takes time for light to travel, we see it as it was only 290 million years after the Big Bang.
