Elixir Verse Equinox Stella Verses

When we look to the stars we see illustrations of myth, we ponder the possibilities of other worlds, of other beings, of times and realms beyond. On the fringes of the galaxy, in the spaces between particles, in the sonder that the stars inspire-that is where Stella Verses lays its scene.

After publishing our first collection, one focused on the earth beneath us, there was nowhere to go next but to the stars above. Featuring the works of 32 authors and artists from around the globe, Elixir Verse Equinox: Stella Verses is a constellation of a collection that will take you on journeys both infinite and intimate, united by a sense of cosmic wonder.

As Autumn settles in around us and the nights grow longer, remember there is hope even in (especially in) the dark. Look to these words as you would the points of a constellation-each one part of the grand story we all are living out, here on what Carl Sagan once so poetically called, “a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.”

The wisdom of the night is captured here in ink. Drink it up and let your mind surrender.
