Standing by the Stars is a compilation of poems written across a decade of experiences. It compiles the best and worst of life into easily digestible chunks. Every page has something new to make you think and reflect. Take a journey through ages and stages, through mental illness and identity, through motherhood and marriage, through death and love and peace. Each poem takes you one step closer to understanding the inner workings of chaos and volatility that is Jauni Hopesphire’s mind.
