The act of writing poetry, for Sofia Starnes, is a "getting out of
the way" so that a poem might occur, a poem that must itself become
a place of resonance, where the reader might recognize a voice
otherwise unheard. The Consequence of Moonlight is a poetic
invitation to an awareness of an underlying Presence; it is also a
call to be present as a loving witness of valuable-and
vulnerable-things. These poems are written to be depositories for
the reader's experiences. The poem's truth is its emotion, nothing
else. Why moonlight? Because the moon has no light of its own; it
lives on borrowed light, as we do. The moon is best perceived and
most needed in the dark, fulfilling itself in absence. It is both
here and there, as is often true for saints, whose luminosity is
seen as lunacy in the world.
