all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes

Women and men (both d**g and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain
-e e cummings

On Saturday, June 29 inside the Chabot Space & Science Center's Planetarium, Poetry Nap will debut a new voyage with full-dome visuals*: The Enchanting Secret of the Opalescent Moon!

*Speaking of visuals, usually when you attend a Poetry Nap your eyes are closed; at Chabot Planetarium we'll have "Peek Moments" where we'll recommend that you peek on occasion. 😴😍😴

Grab your pillow and blanket and put on pjs if you like. Tell everyone you are heading to Poetry Nap. They’ll understand. Float away into an immersive tale of enchanting whimsy, curiosity and adoration guided by Lady and Lord Dosis.
