Synopsis

Written during a time of significant upheaval, Soul Trash, Space Garbage is a poetry collection for all of the messy things inside ourselves that we don't feel are worth committing to paper, or talking about, or confronting. The trash of our souls, the cosmic garbage of our beings.

Its sections traverse three types of star death-from the death of relatively small to especially massive stars-exploring the beautiful, the tragic, and the bittersweet that comes with each of them as a metaphor for life, love, change, growth, sorrow, depression, destruction, joy, faith, and humanity.

Most of all, it is a collection about hope. Soul Trash, Space Garbage gives us permission to see ourselves as celestial beings, as something magnificent and otherworldly, something that can neither be created nor destroyed-as something unapologetically infinite and imperfectly divine.

À propos de l'auteur

Michelle Awad has only recently grown into calling herself a poet. So much so, now, that she's branded herself with it. Tennessee native turned New Orleanian, she firmly believes in going where your heart no longer feels homesick. She believes in staying there as long as you can. More than anything, she has an inkling that space and time are on our side. That aliens are real. That there are little pieces of the celestial inside all of us. That sometimes, they resemble each other. That sometimes, they connect. In her spare time, you can find her sitting on her back porch in Algiers with a telescope and that idiot she's in love with, sipping a gin cocktail and listening to the sounds of the city. Her dog is probably there, too, protecting the yard from squirrels.
