I’m happy to share that my essay “The Fading Stars: A Constellation” has been selected for the next Best American Science & Nature Writing anthology! The essay dovetails the cultural histories of the rise of artificial outdoor night lighting + the rise of Western astronomy + the disappearance & suppression of indigenous mythologies of the cosmos.
You can read the piece in Lapham’s Quarterly‘s Winter 2019 issue, Night.
