'In 2012, I stood at the window of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza and marvelled at the people dodging traffic to get a photo of themselves on the X where the fatal bullet hit JFK on his motorcade. Years later, I read Malcolm Foley and J John Lennon’s article, ‘JFK and Dark Tourism’ and understood that I had visited the quintessential dark tourist site identified in their study.'

    'In preparation, this issue of Axon went under the title of Poetry on the Move, the name of the poetry festival initiated by the International Poetry Studies Institute (IPSI) in 2015. Since that first year, however, the festivals have had distinguishing themes. In 2019, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the theme — and title of the festival symposium — was ‘Small Leaps, Giant Steps’, and this issue brings together a number of papers presented at the symposium, as well as contributions from poets who were not able to attend the event.'
