Daniel Stern

Daniel Stern is a retired engineer turned astronomer, astrophotographer, and poet whose work bridges the measurable and the immeasurable. His writing explores grief, silence, memory, and renewal — the emotional constellations that emerge when language reaches beyond explanation.

His chapbook, The Roar of Silence, was written in the wake of personal loss and stands as a meditation on the places where words falter and silence becomes its own form of speech. The poems arise not from craft alone, but from necessity — an attempt to give voice to questions that resist resolution.

His debut collection, Aphelion, expands this exploration by pairing poetry with original astrophotography. Moving between telescope and page, the work reflects two modes of seeing: one scientific, one emotional — each illuminating what the other cannot. The collection traces distance and connection, absence and endurance, asking what light remains when something beloved is gone.
