Belly of the Beast

About this book

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 Ashes 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
