The first book of poems by an astronaut.
This insightful and remarkable book reveals the human behind the astronaut image. Al Worden writes of the bitterness of public hero-worship, the incomparable joy of voyaging in space, and how the immensity of his solitude and distance from homemade global arguments and politics made them seem trivial. Indeed, Al’s experiences changed his entire view of reality on Earth, and he shares it beautifully in this book.
