Nightfaring: A Book Talk with Megan Eaves-Egenes

Stargazing friends, join us at First Draft Books for a very special conversation with Megan Eaves-Egenes on 3 February 2026 to explore her new book, Nightfaring: In Search of the Disappearing Darkness.
Every year, night skies get 10% brighter. Light pollution is erasing the stars that have guided humans since the very earliest cultures. As nocturnal cities bleach our skies and that deep knowledge is lost, are we also losing our connection with the wild, with stillness, with the possibility that self-knowledge and healing can come from darkness, too?
Blending travel and nature writing with history and self-discovery, Nightfaring is a profound and often startling journey through darkness and the endangered night.
Following the talk, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and pick up a signed copy of Megan’s book.
Megan is a travel writer and advocate for sustainable travel. She is also the founder of Dark Sky London and a delegate for Dark Sky International.
If, like me, you find yourself staring at the stars on those clear Dartmoor nights, this is the book and the event for you.
