Dreaming in Orbit
The Fictional Voices of the Planets

“We looked to the heavens for a map of the world, but found instead a map of the soul”.

In this stunning debut collection, poet Pracheta Sarkar invites you to leave the gravity of the everyday behind and journey through a solar system where the planets are no longer cold, rotating rocks, but a family of rebels, guardians, mothers, and outcasts.

Part scientific log and part map of the soul, Dreaming in Orbit gives a human heartbeat to the silent stories told by the cosmos. Through vivid, cinematic poetry and 4K planetary imagery, each world comes alive with its own distinct voice:

Mercury, the frantic, sun-scorched messenger.
Venus, the beguiling vixen behind a velvet shroud.
Jupiter, the thundering sovereign and shield of the deep.
Pluto, the resilient outcast carrying the universe’s heart.

From the inner realms to the far reaches of the dark, these poems are landing parties on worlds of pure imagination. Whether you are a lover of the stars or a seeker of hidden truths, this "Map of the Soul" will leave you looking at the night sky and wondering what the stars have been waiting for you to hear.
