Reviews of my Work
“Ashley’s poems have a mythic quality that can take the mundane world and make it intriguing and titillating. Her work has a sardonic element that provides both levity and honesty. She keenly references pop culture, academia, and consumer products while having tongue planted firmly in cheek. She is willing to go to challenging places not to make a statement, but to open up discussion. She courageously delves into matters of sexuality, capitalism, religion, and alienation, while avoiding heavy-handedness. A reader of her work is rewarded with poignant commentary on modern life, with all its nuances and vibrancy.”
