INFINITE LIGHT, by Sophia Tempest

Poetry, chapbook, 20 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

INFINITE LIGHT is a meditation on personal isolation and trying to communicate with an incomprehensible world. The poems search for a home in the universe and, not finding footing, lean into the absurd.

Taking place between Philadelphia, Dallas and the astral plane, the collection looks both inward and outward in horror, reimagining God as simultaneously amoral, abstract, and the ultimate source of solace.

Sophia Tempest is a poet from Dallas who currently lives in Philadelphia. Her first chapbook, a lamb hangs by its own foot, was released by Ghost City Press in 2019, and her  full-length collection, WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN, was released by Another New Calligraphy in 2022.
