Hymns of the Mesopotamian Skies is a collection of poetic hymns and epic retellings inspired by the sacred cosmology of the ancient Near East, where the heavens were revered as living powers and divine order was written in the stars.Drawing on the mythic traditions of Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and Assyria, these hymns give voice to the planetary gods, the rising and setting of celestial lights, and the eternal rhythms that governed fate, kingship, and time. Each piece reimagines ancient praise poems, invocations, and sacred narratives, transforming fragments of surviving tradition into lyrical expressions of devotion and cosmic memory.The narratives move between temple and sky, earth and firmament, echoing the worldview of early sky watchers who understood the cosmos as sacred presence rather than distant abstraction. Ziggurats rise as bridges between worlds, planets speak as divine witnesses, and the heavens unfold as a living hymn.This book invites the reader into a mythic landscape where song, story, and star lore converge, offering a poetic return to humanity’s earliest celestial imagination.

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
