Montrose Starling

Montrose Starling is an emerging poet whose work delves into the intricate layers of human emotion, weaving themes of longing, grief, resilience, and transformation. With a voice that balances vivid sensory detail and quiet introspection, Starling guides readers through journeys of shadow and light, uncovering beauty in duality. Tongue of Ash, Heart of Honey marked the first release in a series of chapbooks dedicated to the art of becoming. With Soul of Night, Breath of Fire, Starling continues this exploration, offering poems that reflect the defiant strength and quiet hope found in the midst of darkness. Residing in the liminal spaces of thought and creativity, Starling draws inspiration from the interplay of imperfection and grace, inviting readers to see beauty in both the breaking and the becoming.
