I think
It’s easy
To imagine peace as
A bare-cheeked cherub
Strumming ice-cream truck tunes
Outside St. Peter’s door.
But I wonder
If it’s more like
Daniel’s angel,
Warring against the Prince
Of Persia 21 days.
Or maybe,
It’s an
Up-from-the-grave
Third day
Resurrection
Victory.
Over sin.
Over death.
Just
Like
That.
Death’s dead. Gone.
Ka-
Put.
I think that’s the kind
Of peace
That guards our hearts…
In Christ Jesus.
*Phil. 4:7

Hi, there! My name is Stephanie and I’m a Fresno, CA native. After studying at Biola University, I received my MLIS (Masters in Library Science) from San Jose State University. I live with my mom, poet Kimberly Vargas Agnese, and serve as her unofficial agent. We reside at MeadowArc, a food forest in its infancy.
I am called to, and passionate about, purity. In fact, the name Agnes means “pure.” Before I was born, my mom felt led to include the name Agnes in her name, and in the names of her children. My full, hyphenated name includes 26 letters (but not the whole alphabet).
