Our Solar Neighborhood: A collection of poems about the incredible moons, planets, asteroids, and star that share our solar system.

By Anna Schoenbach

There are worlds of wonder just above us, waiting for us to gaze in awe. Come and explore the treasures beyond the light pollution, and escape the fear and chaos of our little blue island in the universe. This collection of poems delves into the stories and splendor of the celestial bodies - planets, moons, asteroids, and even our brilliant star - that call our little solar system home. Stories and tales, fact and fiction, all of these dance in the glittering void. Look up into the dark mirror of the sky and reflect on your own stories and truth, even as you keep your feet firmly on the ground of the planet you call home.

This is an anthology combining the four poetry books in the /Our Solar Neighborhood/ series: /Shattered Stars and Broken Stones/, /Burning Cold in the Quiet Night/, /Souvenirs of Ice and Dust/, and /Under a Pulsating Sky/. It has minor edits, but is overall unchanged from its original forms.

Like everything else in the universe, /Our Solar Neighborhood/ is about many ideas coexisting in the same space, sometimes supporting each other, sometimes conflicting. It's about the sagas of dirty snowballs and specks of dust, drifting in an impossible vastness.

It's about wonder and awe, and surviving the unforgiving cosmos together.

"Anna's love and appreciation of nature is evident throughout. I'll never look at the sky in the same way."
