Translations from the Soul

Beschreibung

Translations of the Soul is Ashley's much anticipated debut poetry collection. Poetry is Ashley's first language and the way she understands the world. Learn Ashley's unique dialect and dive into poems about revolutionary joy, the Black diaspora, mental health, body neutrality, and self-discovery. This book is an extension of her heart, and she hopes it finds those ready to be inspired, curious, and fall in love with words. It holds the duality of creating for the soul and the gift of creating for others. This book is divided into two sections, poems Ashley wrote for herself and poems she was commissioned to write. These pages hold space for revolution, resistance, pleasure, rage, and connection. Translations of the Soul is a full body experience dripping with passion.
