When words aren’t enough to describe our emotions, this book offers comfort, joy, and a friend in the dark. In her spare yet powerful style, Kim navigates subjects like mental health, trauma, loneliness, and loss. Pairing exquisite, black-and-white illustrations with short, surprising captions, each page of Starry Night, Blurry Dreams inspires wonder and introspection.

*A Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this. This is my honest and unbiased review*
Hello Fellow Readers,
I've never heard of visual proetry, but I am so glad I decided to pick this up. Kim's artwork is superb and definitely created to trigger an emotional response, just like most written poetry would. I related a lot to what Kim drew and surprised myself at the fact that I responded so strongly to it. I did spend quite a long time staring at each picture and marveling over the different details that when into each piece. This is definitely a wonderful book to add to any poetry or art collection.
Overall, a wonderful and visually entertaining book.
