The Distance Between Stars

The book cover for THE DISTANCE BETWEEN STARS: A woman stretches up toward the moon. The vertical text reads, The Distance Between Stars, Stephen Cavitt.

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.
