“Into the Belly of the Beast we crawl with Ashe as our guide; into the dark visceral spaces where love, lust, descent and desire work their transformative magic and we find ourselves utterly altered in the reading. A truly gifted poet and truth-spiller, Ashe’s metaphors create images within images, leading us to question the subjective truths, both shared and hidden, in personal relationship – to the other, and to oneself. Unflinching in her approach, her poetry gives voice to that which most struggle to admit – even if only to themselves. And as such, Belly of the Beast is a work of startling courage and rich depth – a darkly delicious pleasure.” – Amy Palko

About the Author:

Ashe Vernon is a queer poet from Texas. She has nearly finished undergrad at Stephen F. Austin State University, where she majored in theatre and minored in gender studies. Ashe’s focus falls, again and again, on themes of self-acceptance. She likes to give the demons room to breathe and she has always looked to the stars. On top of poetry, Ashe is a playwright, an actor, and an artist. Ashe hopes to move to a big city with her grumpy cat and cover herself in tattoos.
