“The Gust of Stardust” is a poetry book that aims to encapsulate love, beauty, art, and sensation through imagery, texture, and lyricism. With an intense sense of self-awareness and observation of one's own actions and consequences, the narrative fluctuates between apathetic, dark tones, and emotionally driven prose that mirrors the oftentimes difficult process of opening up and becoming vulnerable. This poetry book is designed to unveil reflection and emotion within the reader, to touch upon the material as well as the illusory fog of past memories. Through these poetries the reader can lose oneself and rediscover oneself within one’s own heart through another's description.
