Celestial is a love poem of 100 rhyming couplets wherein the poet
restlessly seeks his beloved, who is playing a game of hide-and-seek in
the remote corners of the universe. This breathtaking poem takes you
on a poetic journey to all the 88 star constellations visible from Earth
and reveals the hidden mysteries of the universe. Accompanied with
46 exquisite illustrations by the tenth-century Persian astronomer
