CONGRATULATIONS!

My mom (Kimberly Vargas Agnese, creator of Buckets on a Barefoot Beach) doesn’t actively use WordPress at this time, but I want to give a hearty shout out and congratulations to her!

She has been selected as a finalist for the Andres Montoya Poetry Prize, awarded through the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame, which is hugely exciting. This was not exactly surprising to me, since I am very aware that the Lord has given my mom incredible talent.

However, it is very apparent that this is the Lord’s doing. My mom did not formally study poetry, but has been published in numerous journals. Moreover, she is now a finalist alongside university professors and winners of other literary awards.

Praising God!

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).
