Evelyn Asher

Evelyn uses poetic techniques to tell her personal story wrought with compassion and unwavering commitment to social justice. She thrives wherever she lives and travels, the furthest being cruising five days on the Yangtze River. She cherishes her writing experiences in the International Women Writers Guild, Pens Unlimited, Tall Tales Writing Critique Group, Eastern Shores Writers Association, Katey Schultz's Emerge and Book Club, and Northeast Georgia Writers. She lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where she was a reading mentor for 15 years. She is thrilled to be a conversation parter with a woman in Ukraine which is her ancestral heritage. Evelyn is the lead facilitator for Ekphrasis for the Masses at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center and is honored to be featured in Brenau University's Poetry in Motion. She is crafting her third poetry collection about immigrant life in the voice of her great-grandmother. Evelyn loves to sketch and write on the shore of the Chattahoochee River in North Georgia where she lives.
