WE ARE NOT READY FOR WHAT WE ARE 
Ash Good

​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


“. . . threshold-crossing, body wise . . . utterly alive, tough, lyrical, concrete always, sensual always . . . ”
—Michael Ventura, editor, lettersat3ampress 


“. . . Frank O’Hara reincarnated as some female Kerouac vision-questress rolling through the West.”
—Sarah Maclay, author of Music for the Black Room


“Biographically naked and humane . . . You realize this is  not a tell-all aesthetic, but a practice of the self’s spiritual stripping.”
—Karen Kevorkian, author of Lizard Dream 


“ . . . 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
