Stardust

Stardust is the debut poetry collection of Rania Attafi, a Tunisian writer whose spare, image-driven verse moves between the intimate and the cosmic. Across these poems, Attafi writes toward feminism, love, loss, and the uncertainties of a life examined honestly, giving voice to a range of speakers and experiences.

By turns tender and unflinching, the collection lingers on the small moments that make up a life and the larger questions of existence that shadow them. Attafi's language is quiet but precise, reaching for connection across borders and circumstances.

A slim, evocative first collection, Stardust introduces a distinctive voice writing about what it means to endure, to love, and to hope.
