Poetry. "Couplet by couplet, Sofia Starnes leads her readers on a poetic quest for understanding. Her perfect pitch and her acute sensitivity to the pace and nuances of language are reason enough for us to follow. A COMMERCE OF MOMENTS is a gathering of very special poems"--Billy Collins. Born in Manila, Sofia Stanres is a writer of Philippine-Spanish heritage who received a degree in English Philology from the University of Madrid and has won both the Rainer Maria Rilke Poetry Prize and the Aldrich Poetry Prize.
