Long before mankind went to the Moon, we dreamt of it – dreamt of what it’s like to be there, or thereabouts, on the surface or just beyond the exosphere, in every medium from cinema to comic strip.

This book sees ten new cosmonauts resurrect that most rickety, most celestial of technologies – the lyric poem – as a means of reaching out again, further and more fervently than ever before, in a space race from which some may never return. Are they prepared for what they’ll find out there, amid cold craters, micrometeorite showers and radioactive crust?
