Korte beschrijving/Annotatie

Stars in Daylight weaves memory, emotion and reflection into lyrical poems of pain, hope and resilience, where stars shine quietly - symbols of hidden beauty and strength in light and darkness.

Tekst achterflap

In Stars in Daylight words become constellations — each poem a fragment of memory, emotion and reflection. Lyrical and intimate, these verses transform personal moments into meditations on pain, hope and resilience. Throughout, stars appear as symbols of distance, light and guidance — illuminating the contrast between darkness and light and the quiet brilliance that endures unseen. Cultural echoes from music, film and television weave through the pages, adding texture and familiarity, bridging the deeply personal with the universally felt. Stars in Daylight invites you into a space where vulnerability becomes strength and where, even in daylight, the stars still shine.

Biografie

Hayley De Bont (2002) writes with a voice both tender and unflinching. A lifelong lover of words, she finds solace in writing and reading — turning to them as a way to clear her mind during life’s more difficult moments. Her poetry blends personal reflection with universal emotion, exploring themes of resilience, hope and the quiet beauty hidden in everyday life. When she isn’t writing, she is often lost in a book, gathering inspiration from stories and rhythms. Stars in Daylight is her debut collection, offering readers an intimate glimpse into her thoughts, memories and the light she finds in darkness.
