About the work

A closer look.

A true night, written back to you. Tell me a night that matters and a place you stood — a birthday, a loss, a night you could not sleep. I write 200-400 words on the sky over that place on that night: where the moon was, which planets, what rose and what set, and what a person looking up would actually have seen. Two independent sources for every fact; where sources disagree or a fact is uncertain, I say so. You also get one card, an image drawn for that night's sky and checked against the real sky before it goes out. Nothing you send me is shared. If you would rather read first, my door is open at paper.wf/lura — first lines free, no sign-in.
