Stephen Cavitt, M.F.A., publishes science fiction and poetry. See his growing collection of books here.
The Distance Between Stars
The first book in the Und Wars sci-fi series is out now!
After a devastating alien invasion, aspiring journalist Niquish Fromer wrangles a spot on the last fleet to leave Earth. She interviews her shipmates to save their stories for posterity…if anyone survives.
Told in monologues as the first documentary from space, The Distance Between Stars considers what we hold onto when everything crumbles, and how to let go.
Noctis Terrores
Noctis Terrores–Latin for night terrors–is the first collection from a working poet who has taught for Duke University, the University of Tennessee, and Florida Gulf Coast University.
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.”
Noctis Terrores carries us around the world, from Cavitt’s childhood Appalachians to the streets of Vietnam, the canyon Southwest, and the cultural and ecological oddities of his adopted Florida home.
What’s next?
Stephen is hard at work on the rest of the Und Wars Series, which takes place 800+ years after The Distance Between Stars. Follow along as jump tech Snap Arbuckle Jr. tries to save the only girl he almost loved from a space-time anomaly…and the vicious aliens known as the Und.
