Giant Steps

On 21 July, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step onto the moon, uttering those famous words: 'THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND.' To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, we asked 50 poets to collaborate on this poetry anthology reflecting upon the achievement of Apollo 11 and our constantly evolving notions of 'space'.
