Molly Grimes's first self-published poetry collection, Stardust plays with the idea of the universe and breaking the fourth wall between a writer's thoughts and what they put down on paper. "I write myself into the poem. I wanted it to be a love poem, so I wrote myself into one." Much of Stardust consists of thoughts on relationships, mental health, love, and pain through the eyes of a narrator desperately trying to "write a new story" or speaking to the object of the story. The themes of fairytales and stars reoccur throughout the collection, reinforcing a few passions that have followed Grimes's poetry throughout her life.
