Fully into Ashes

Written in a modern and experimental style, this poetry compilation by Sofia M. Starnes contemplates the aesthetics of faith. Often drawing from Bible stories, this collection indirectly alludes to Christian themes and creates extended metaphors that spill from one poem to another. Filled with passionately physical imagery, this is Starnes's quest for spiritual union with the Trinity.

Sofia M. Starnes is a poet and the poetry editor of the Anglican Theological Review. She is the author of A Commerce of Moments, Corpus Homini, and The Soul’s Landscape, and the recipient of various awards, including the Aldrich Chapbook Poetry Award, the Rainer Maria Rilke Poetry Award, and the Transcontinental Poetry Book Prize. Her poems and essays have also appeared in numerous literary journals, such as Laurel Review, Pleiades, and Southern Poetry Review. She lives in Williamsburg, Virginia.
