During a trip to England, O'Donnell met a poet named Malcolm Guite at a festival on the Isle of Wight, where they had their first conversation about pre-Copernican astrophysics and C.S. Lewis. Quickly realizing they shared a passion for these ideas, O'Donnell asked Guite to write a collection of poems for ''Music of the Spheres''. | During a trip to England, O'Donnell met a poet named Malcolm Guite at a festival on the Isle of Wight, where they had their first conversation about pre-Copernican astrophysics and C.S.

As years passed and ''Music of the Spheres'' was seemingly not going to release, Guite considered putting ''Seven Heavens, Seven Hells'' into a number of his books, but an author whom Guite had admired, Michael Ward, said the poems didn't fit thematically into any of the collections he proposed. ''Seven Heavens, Seven Hells'' remained unpublished. | As years passed and ''Music of the Spheres'' was seemingly not going to release, Guite considered putting ''Seven Heavens, Seven Hells'' into a number of his books, but an author whom Guite had admired, Michael Ward, said the poems didn't fit thematically into any of the collections he proposed.
