Stephen Cavitt, M.F.A.


Escape to the stars, or fall in love with Earth all over again.

Stephen Cavitt writes far-flung adventures in sci-fi and fantasy, as well as literary poetry that’ll put your feet back on the ground.

His first novelette, The Distance Between Stars, is available in paperback and Kindle Unlimited. It will also be available in podcast form late 2024, with 9 great actors narrating humanity’s flight into space.

Aspiring journalist Niquish Fromer, a passenger on the last fleet to leave Earth, interviews her shipmates to save their stories for posterity…if anyone survives.

Stephen’s first collection of poems, Noctis Terrores, is out now in paperback and Kindle Unlimited. You can hear Stephen read each poem and discuss its key technique on the Poetry Professor Podcast, available winter 2024-25.

Blending persona and prose poems, nature and surrealism, gratitude and healthy dose of regret, Cavitt reports back from a world where, as he writes in Petroglyphs, “there is not enough time to love this Earth.”
