praise for ash good's previous work

". . . a voice as spare and natural as Gary Snyder's, as insightful
and alchemical as Rumi's . . ."

--gail wronsky, author of so quick bright things

". . . sense-rich, threshold-crossing, body wise . . . utterly alive,
tough, lyrical, concrete always, sensual always . . . "

--micheal ventura, editor, lettersat3ampress

". . . Frank O'Hara reincarnated as some female Kerouac
vision-questress rolling through the West."

"Biographically naked and humane . . . You realize this is not a

" . . . an invigorating addition to the canon-yet-to-be of West
Coast poets that has been shaped by Eloise Klein Healy, Sharon
Doubiago, Judy Grahn and Philip Whalen."

--bill mohr, author of hidden proofs & vehemence
