About the Book:
| Such Stuff As Stars Are Made Of is a compilation of essays and poems reflecting the author’s love of words and her passion for writing about the joys to be found in everyday life. As she says in the book’s introduction, “I write to counteract the yearning that is so integral to the human condition, to break free from that limbo state that suspends me between a longed-for past and a wished-for future. On any given day, amidst life’s frustrations, its tedium, and even its grief, countless wonders spool out before me. By noticing them and sharing them in words, I stake my claim to now.” Sit back and let these wonder-filled pages inspire you to do some stargazing of your own.
