About this title

Synopsis

a sky with two moons is Suzanne Simons' collection of astronomy poems based on actual astronomical events and phenomena from the post-Apollo moon missions of the early 1970s to the present. During this period, scientific discoveries and understanding shifted from peopled space flight to deeper and more nuanced questions and understanding of the universe, its origins, evolution and our place in it. Through metaphor, imagery and imagination, Simons draws on the tradition of science poetry to illuminate the beauty of the heavens and critical issues of our times. End notes provide context to the astronomy of the poems. Suzannesimons.net.
