Star Dust by Jeannette Fraser Henshall ~ Full Audiobook [poetry]

Star Dust by Jeannette Fraser Henshall audiobook. Genre: poetry Star Dust is a compact, turn-of-the-century style volume of lyric poetry by Jeannette Fraser Henshall, a companion to her later collection Rain and Roses. Across dozens of brief poems, Henshall turns everyday moments into small constellations of feeling: a love confessed in a letter, a sudden wave of homesickness, a hard-won gratitude, a memory that will not loosen its hold. The speakers in these verses move through courtship and marriage, friendship and family, private sorrow and public duty, returning again and again to the question of how to keep the heart steady when life keeps changing its weather. Along the way are prayers and meditations that lean toward spirituality, nature pieces that mark the passing of months and seasons, and gently pointed observations about society, propriety, and the expectations placed on women and men. By shifting from tenderness to wit to quiet lament, Star Dust offers a mosaic of moods that feels intimate and immediate, inviting listeners to slow down, listen closely, and find meaning in the ordinary.
