Each poem is inspired by a calming work of art, reproduced in the book alongside the heart-warming illustrations of Allison Colpoys. The book takes its title from Van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night, which inspired Coelho’s evocative poem River Sky: I gaze upon the starry night It twists into a river-sky my every breath, a swirling light I gaze upon the starry night.
