Does anybody have any poetry book recommendations that focuses on stars/astronomy/the universe/nature etc?
I’d like to find a book that connects us humans to the cosmos in a pretty and poetic way, but I’m drawing blanks!
I’d appreciate any recs, thanks so much!

im not 100% sure this fits what you are looking for but Calypso by Oliver K Langmead is a sci fi novella written entirely in poetry! each POV has a different style and i strongly suggest reading the physical version because the formatting always gets messed up in digital copies
its about a ship carrying people to colonize a new planet and the emotional/metaphysical connections of the main scientists to their journey and the new planet
Orbital by Samantha Harvey. It’s not poetry, but the prose is incredibly lyrical. Definitely made me feel connected to nature and the universe in a pretty and poetic way
