Still As Bright
By Cokinos, Christopher
An immersive exploration of the nightly presence that has captured our imagination for the entirety of human history.. "When the Moon rises between buildings or over trees, it's not just a beautiful light: It's an archive of human longing, fear and adventure. The Moon is more than a rock. It's a story." In the luminously told Still As Bright, the story of the Moon traverses time and space, rendering a range of human experiences - from the beliefs of ancient cultures to the science of Galileo's telescopic discoveries, from the obsessions of colorful 19th century "selenographers" to the astronauts of Apollo and, now, Artemis. Still As Bright also traces Cokinos's own lunar pilgrimage. With his backyard telescope, he explores the surface of the Moon, while rooted in places both domestic and wild, and this award-winning poet and writer rediscovers feelings of solace, love and wonder in the midst of loss and change.
