Jason Adam Sheets holds a Master of Theological Studies in Theopoetics from Harvard Divinity School. His research focuses on how theopoetic language works to shift one's consciousness into spaces of spiritual or mystical experience. In addition to his work as a scholar, Sheets' commitment to the field can be seen in his work as a poet and author. Books include A Madness of Blue Obsidian (AGP, 2022), The Hour Wasp (AGP, 2017), and Theopoetica: An Anthology (AGP, 2022). New work is forthcoming in POETRY (2024).
