For Your Reference

  1. The SpaceX Installation / Saturday Gallery Exhibit showing of my Inspiration4 Mission poem that went to space, and recited in space by world renowned American astronaut Sian Proctor.

  2. Bringing my insured original (glass encased) SpaceX commissioned poem on Saturday nights is a cool installation that will drive peak traffic.

  4. There will be red velvet rope around the table.  The guests will be able to take selfies / photos with this rare artifact, it creates a sharable moment that many people post on their social media and will tag The Phoenician.

Text-Verbiage Printed On Table Placards In Lounge & Lobby Areas

* Placard ideas could be a Tent Style placard or double-sided table sign, or something similar, so it’s easy for the patrons at the tables to flip over the placard to see and read both sides.

Obviously I trust in your creative marketing team to design something amazing. The text copy (below) is vital, and am hoping, we can include all the text copy on the table placards. If needed, I can reduce the length of the text copy to make it shorter.

Meet Your Poet: Fadi Y. Sitto

Fadi is a best selling American poet whose work occupies the rare intersection of contemporary literature and historical artifact. An Arizona Poet Laureate Nominee, he achieved one of his historical milestones in 2021, as a SpaceX commissioned poet for the Inspiration4 mission.

His original composition was carried into the stars and recited in zero-gravity by Mission Pilot Astronaut - Dr. Sian Proctor, making Fadi one of only seven (selected) poets in human history to have their work recited in outer space. This prized poetic piece was subsequently auctioned as a centerpiece of the record setting $250 million fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. 

Fadi is a cultural figure, with poetic works commissioned by iconic global brands, celebrities, and for private collectors. His presence is exclusively requested at the world’s most high-profile weddings, corporate events, and private social galas, where he performs his signature live experiential poetry for invited guests.. Complementing his literary prestige is a unique creative background that includes a role (IMDb) in the Warner Brothers summer blockbuster Three Kings.

This residency at The Phoenician (Scottsdale, Arizona) is a dedicated extension of the poet’s philanthropic mission.  By inviting you to his 1945 Hermes typewriter, Ingram Publishing and the Fadi Poetry team offers a rare opportunity to acquire a custom-commissioned heirloom - while continuing his legacy of giving back.  In keeping with his Inspiration4 collaboration, your poem commission directly supports the life-saving work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  

Whether in an orbital space capsule or here at The Phoenician Resort, Fadi’s work remains a profound testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.  The poet Fadi is a catalyst for elevating the art and soul of authentic human connection.
