Bad Poetry

Take a step toward what scares you. That thing you've always dreamt of doing but you've always been too scared to do - what's keeping you from facing it? What does that space in your mind feel like between the familiarity of what you know and the ambiguity of what's to come? Written during quarantine, first-time author Ashlyn Greer chronicles a reflective journey of rediscovering and releasing herself through writing. What started as a daily diary of 2020 quickly morphed into short poems about life, fear, creating, and success. Beginning with uncertainty and questions about who she had become, Ashlyn spools the thread of her subconscious to explore the obstacles of change and the motivators of action that reside inside anyone who's restless in some area of their life, but not quite sure what the future holds for them - from subjects as dramatic as a career change to those as seemingly routine as greeting a neighbor across the hall. The human mind carries the complexity of emotion and the thoroughness of decision-making. If it can't be fully understood, perhaps the next best thing is to extrapolate anything coherently salvageable into some bad poetry - and hope that it can at least provide a clean slate. Ashlyn strips back the layers to discover that starting over is sometimes the most important thing you can do.
