Having Googled well, I think that tapeta would be a mixed blessing for astronomers: they would increase our ability to investigate spectra of faint objects, but reduce our ability to discern detail in their spatial structures.
I’m looking forward to seeing what they will do for my appreciation of your words.
As an utterly non-biased, completely neutral third party, I’d like to give A Tapetum Knowledge a major thumbs up! (In all honesty, it’s a gorgeous, thoughtful read - and as someone who is typically not interested in poetry, it’s a revelation.)

Congratulations on getting this into print!
Congrats!
Is the poem about the grinding stones in there?

Oops, sorry, Rachel. Yes, the grinding stone poem is included.
(And thank you, Space Kitty.)
I (finally) ordered my copy. Looking forward to receiving it!
