Wrong Side of a Fistfight - Softcover

"Ashe Vernon pulls back the layers of the spectacular wound of being human and underneath, there are bruises. Vernon flinches at the truth but forges ahead and there, they find their strength- in the honesty and in the brutality. Vernon has written a collection that prays of misplaced love and preacher fathers and the shade of Texas summers and a body that never feels quite like your own. It is beautiful and astounding and it hurts. Come here for the youth, for the apologies, for the optimism, and for the astounding love." - Fortesa Latifi, author of We Were Young and No Matter the Time

Ashe Vernon is too small and too loud but mostly just tired. Author of four full length collections of poetry and several DIY chapbooks, they spend their summers touring the country performing poetry with their best friend. Ashe is currently the Senior Editor of Poetry with Persephone's Daughters Literary Magazine. At 5'2", Ashe is a very tiny person with very tiny hands and a whole lot to say about it.
