I’ve hidden threads of wishes between the constellations so twilight may weave destiny for my wandering soul, and midnight’s embrace does make me wonder— when the shattered stars fall on your lips, do you taste my dreams? Born from a fascination with destiny and nightmares, Shatter the Stars invites the reader into the realms of Mishaal Omer’s imagination. Blurring the lines between the metaphorical and the real, the fantastical and the mundane, this collection dares you to dream, to feel, to hope so deeply that the stars shatter at your fingertips. What is poetry but molten dreams of ink, an author’s soul bleeding its way onto paper?
