The Dark Between Stars Poems

New York Times Bestseller and International Bestseller

From the Instagram poetry sensation who captured hearts with Love Her Wild, Atticus returns with The Dark Between Stars—a stunning illustrated collection that explores the beautiful contradictions of love and life.

With nearly 700,000 followers enchanted by his words (including Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys), Atticus has become a voice for those navigating the messy, magnificent territory between connection and solitude. This collection doesn’t shy away from the dualities we all experience: the rush of new love and the weight of commitment, the warmth of togetherness and the ache of being alone again.

These poems move like conversations overheard in Parisian jazz clubs, like wine shared beside a river at sunset, like rain tapping against bookshop windows. Atticus writes about dancing, creating, destroying, and the eternal search for meaning in our journey. His verse reminds us that we need both darkness and stars—both the painful moments and the breathtaking ones—to truly appreciate what it means to be alive and in love.

Whether you’re beginning a new chapter, healing from an old one, or simply savoring the present moment, The Dark Between Stars offers honest companionship. It’s poetry that feels like finding exactly the right words for feelings you couldn’t quite name—perfect for curling up with on a salty afternoon or sharing with someone who needs to know they’re not alone.
