Outer Space: 100 Poems

Join us for an exclusive reading from Outer Space: 100 Poems, published by Cambridge University Press and edited by Midge Goldberg, featuring a one-time-only lineup of contributors from across the globe: Ned Balbo (Baltimore, Md.), John Curl (Berkeley, Calif.), John Foy (N.Y., N.Y.), Dr. Alice Gorman (Adelaide, South Australia), A.M. Juster (Nashville, Tenn., for now), Donna Kane (Rolla, British Columbia), Janet Kenny (Point Vernon, Queensland) , Leslie Monsour (Los Angeles, Calif.), Victoria Moul (Paris, France), Jay Ruzesky (Duncan, British Columbia), Dr. Yun Wang (Glendale, Calif.), and Anton Yakovlev (Lyndhurst, N.J.).

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 collection reaches across time and cultures to illuminate how we think about outer space, and ourselves. Learn more at cambridge.org/outerspace
