$ yarn run start produces SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

I am new to sage 9 and am using it for the first time. I went the composer route as suggested on the theme documentation. I ran $ composer install from the theme directory and $ yarn already. It looks like things installed correctly, but don’t know enough about yarn or webpack to troubleshoot this myself. Any suggestions?

When I run $ yarn run start I get the following:

`yarn run v0.21.3
$ webpack --hide-modules --watch --config assets/build/webpack.config.js
/home/ubuntu/workspace/allcleared-content/wp-content/themes/allcleared-theme/node_modules/copy-globs-webpack-plugin/index.js:101
const { promisify } = webpack_require(0);
^
