Poets and astronomers often ask the same questions. Where did we
come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Throughout human
history, poetry has provided stories about what people observe in
the sky. Stars, planets, comets, the moon, and space travel are
used as metaphors for our feelings of love, loneliness,
adventurousness, and awe. This anthology includes poets,
astronomers, and scientists from the 12th century BCE to today,
from all around the world. Sappho, Du Fu, Hafez, and Shakespeare
are joined by Gwyneth Lewis's space requiem, Tracy K. Smith on the
Hubble telescope, and Charles Simic, whose poem accompanied a NASA
mission. Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Edmund Halley accompany modern
scientists including Rebecca Elson, Alice Gorman on the first woman
in space, and Yun Wang's space journal on travel to Andromeda. This
collection reaches across time and cultures to illuminate how we
think about outer space, and ourselves.
