Dusk Stars

Austin has the ability to make the ordinary seem extraordinary. (Tim Peterson) Dusk Stars is the first collection of poems from author and visual artist Austin Hudson. Comprised of forty-four poems, this collection captures Hudson's earnest (and sometimes ironic) sensibilities to take readers on a journey of the human spirit framed by the backdrop of contemporary American culture. Known locally for his short-form essays and humanitarian work, this collection is sure to please readers as his creations ""will exceed your expectations"" (Thad Weiland). ""A good poem not only sounds beautiful to the ears, but also to the heart. Austin's poetry makes you think, helps you process feelings, and inspires a desire to create change in the world.' - Michelle Gatzemeier Speckman
