This Saturday night, May 30, at 7:00 p.m., Chris Cokinos will be discussing our relationship to the Moon. Chris is the author of several books, the most recent being Still as Bright: An Illuminating History of the Moon. Chris believes that as humanity begins its return to the Moon, it's time to look at the Moon again—and not just as it rises over town and mountains. He says that humanity's relationship to what was once a mysterious light in the sky reveals so much about us: The Moon is more than a rock. It's an archive of stories, hopes, fears, and longing.
