Ashley Edge (Spoken Label, January 2023)

Latest up from Spoken Label (Poetry / Artist Podcast) features the excellent Ashley Edge.

Ashley is a non-binary, autistic poet from the heart of England. They take great pleasure in opening the rusty can full of phobic critters, shining a laser on them and beating them with a poetic hammer. Prone to tugging at your soul with their tales of childhood trauma, Ashley is also able to produce the odd happy poem. Usually about cats.

They have been published in many anthologies over the years and won multiple slams. A fan of trying all poetic styles, on the stage and on the page. Due for release in February 2023, Ashley's collection, "Those Days, These Days", is a double-whammy. An exploration of their early life as a loud and proud queer, coming out and falling in love during Section 28, Ashley fast forwards to present times, being non-binary and the passions that keep them sane and fighting.
