Still As Bright
*Winner of the 2025 Utah Book Award in Memoir/Narrative*
*AĀ Globe and MailĀ Best Book of 2024*
An immersive exploration of the nightly presence that has captured our imagination for the entirety of human history.
In the luminously toldĀ Still As Bright,Ā the story of the Moon traverses time and space, rendering a range of human experiencesāfrom the beliefs of ancient cultures to the science of Galileo's telescopic discoveries, from the obsessions of colorful nineteenth century "selenographers" to the astronauts of Apollo and, now, Artemis.
Still As BrightĀ 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.
Simultaneously steeped in rigorous cultural and scientific history, as well as memoir,Ā Still As BrightĀ is a thoughtful, deeply moving, evergreen natural history. It takes listeners on a lyrical journey that spans the human understanding of our closest celestial neighbor, whose multi-faceted appeal has worked on witches, scientists, poets, engineers, and even billionaires.
Still As BrightĀ is a must-listen for anyone who has ever looked up into the night sky in awe and wonder. Listeners will never look at the Moon the same way again.
