Overview

The Anatomy of a Falling Star is a journey through the fragile, aching spaces of the human heart and spirit. In these pages, desire and doubt intertwine, faith trembles under the weight of longing, and the body remembers what the soul sometimes forgets. Each poem is a quiet reckoning, a dissection of life's light and shadow, of temptation and devotion, of identity and the relentless ache of existence. Here, stars fall slowly, carrying stories of loss, spiritual questioning, and the seductive pull of what we cannot resist. Some sparks fade, others linger, stubbornly refusing to die. This collection is for anyone who has felt the weight of their own questions, the hunger for intimacy, and the tender, unspoken pulse of survival, even in the dimmest hours. A meditation on faith, sensuality, and the human spirit, The Anatomy of a Falling Star asks what it means to keep shining when the world grows heavy, when hope wanes, and when the self teeters between light and shadow.

Author Information

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
