This poetry offers up the most beautiful, most heartbreaking, and all around insight of Ashley’s life and how she has processed her experiences.

Much of her poems allowed me to find a place of solidarity which is always hard to find.

Some of these worked for me, some didn't. Overall the sharpness of the anger, the deepness of the sorrow, and the fierceness of the pride of the author came through loud and clear. The inclusion of some didn't seem to fit the overall tone, and the order was sometimes jarring when read back to back.
