Astropoetry Blog
Crescent moon over ocean by Virginia Hoge
The Astropoetry blog, launched during GAM, will continue with regular updates under the direction of author, astropoet and AWB Astropoetry Blog Editor, Bob Eklund. Our intention here is to provide a venue and a forum where the poetry of the night sky can flourish.
We encourage you to contribute poetry of the night sky—new or old astropoems, essays, experiences, book reviews, links to astropoetry resources, and information on astropoetry events. Links to online collections and other resources-including notes on a few astropoetry-related books-will also be provided, plus a few examples of outstanding astropoems from major poets of the past.
Whether or not you've ever written a poem before, take a look at some of the examples archived here, then think of some unique sight or feeling you've had in your acquaintance with the night sky-and put that feeling or insight into words.
As you look up at the sky, keep on the lookout for the unexpected, but with a relaxed eye: the unexpected Universe will come to you.
Innumerable
Bright stars behind stars not seen
As twilight deepens.
Innumerable
Bright ideas drifting by...
Some are listened to.
