Around This Star

By Tyler J Hanson

Embark on a celestial journey with Around This Star , the breathtaking conclusion to Tyler Hanson's poetic trilogy following Amidst This Eden and Upon This Earth . In this final installment, Hanson explores myths, mysteries, and humanity's cosmic connection to the planets of our solar system. Each section is named after a planet, evoking the essence of the Roman deities they are named for--Mars, god of war; Venus, goddess of love; Saturn, the keeper of time, and more. Hanson's verses resonate with themes of divinity, mortality, power, and desire, blending mythology with modern reflection. Through the lens of these celestial bodies and the celestial beings they're named after, Around This Star contemplates the human condition, our origins, our struggles, and the stories we tell that give meaning to this existence. With vivid imagery and lyrical mastery, Tyler Hanson invites readers to ponder humanity's place in the universe, concluding a trilogy that has journeyed from our roots on Earth to our dreams and exploration of the cosmos. Whether a fan of mythology, astronomy, or the intricacies of human experience, Around This Star will transport you to the furthest reaches of the solar system while yet grounding you in the timeless struggles and wonders of life on Earth as we make our way around this star. This hardcover edition is much larger than the paperback copy and features color photographs to facilitate a more stationary, at home, reading experience. The paperback edition is specifically designed to be easily taken along on a walk or hike. Much smaller, with black and white photographs, this paperback edition encourages the reader to engage with nature in the midst of nature.
