The book is split into two sections. The first section, Music Like Dirt, is a sequence of poems that became the first chapbook to ever be nominated for the Pulitzer Prize when it was originally published in 2002.[2] The second section includes The Third Hour of the Night, a dark and violent poem about Italian Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini. It is part of a project by Bidart that, so far, includes two similarly titled poems. Third Hour was first published in the October 2004 issue of Poetry, taking up almost the entire issue.[3][4]
Star Dust also includes notes on some poems by Bidart, and later editions also include an interview with the author conducted by Bookslut.[5]
