“A true love story and the real-world messiness that came with it are reflected here through poetry. This beautifully written work immerses you into one couple’s journey and delicately wraps an emotional roller coaster of their highs and lows into a tiny little package, all while centering on the crucial topic of mental health. Incredibly powerful. A must-read!”
- Charlie Snow, Cofounder, The Herb Life
Where does our love go when we are gone? The question is, where does it not?
A collection of poetry and prose written over several years, woven together as the story of our love, Summit 21 is a poignant and honest account of loving through mental illness and the breakdown of a transformative relationship. Through its current and approachable style, Summit 21 is as deeply introspective, insightful, and heartbreaking as it is restorative and sanguine.
A love, which never ceased to exist, is only now less orderly.
“As a sixty-year-old woman reading this touching, vulnerable offering, I both squirmed, recognizing my younger self, and felt relief that I was no longer that romantically yearning person. The dysfunctional, the sensual, the heartfelt - Ashley Evans expresses herself with brevity and grace in this poetry collection. A companion and balm for those who have lost/found love and/or believe twenty-first century romance is still a viable option.”
- Tasha Diamant, Artist
