Voyager is a nuanced and haunting book of geopolitical, literary, moral, and spiritual inquiry. Guided by the poet, we envision the infinite mystery of space and the astonishing ingenuity and longevity of the Voyager mission. Srikanth Reddy also takes us on a voyage through the great unknown that resides within each of us––as we each carry our own etched records of memories, wounds, illusions, and hope on our journeys right here on spaceship Earth
