Greek mythology is the source of the names and stories of many celestial bodies and constellations. I derive inspiration for poems that connect mythology, the celestial, and the science we have come to understand in this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMany of the images and connections in these poems echo the wonder of our immanent existence on this blue ball, as well as the celestial stories and new discoveries (exoplanets, asteroids, comets). Occasionally, these poems draw from my experience. Some draw on connections to the stars and myths as common as our days of the week. These poems wander and lie beneath—peripatetic, sub-spaitial, illuminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoddy Murray’s last chapbook, \u003cem\u003eAnaphora\u003c\/em\u003e, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2020.
