8/27/09: The Fallen Sky

By Doug Fabrizio

Salt Lake City, UT – To say that Utah State English professor Christopher Cokinos' new book is about meteorites is to tell only part of the story. His 8-year quest to learn about space rocks and the people who have studied them took Cokinos from Greenland to Kansas to Antarctica. Along the way though, he says he discovered new things about himself and about home. Thursday, Christopher Cokinos is with us to talk about his book. It's called "The Fallen Sky: An Intimate History of Shooting Stars."

Thursday, August 27th at 7:00 p.m., Christopher Cokinos will give a reading at The King's English Bookshop. For more information, click here or call 801-484-9100.
