This is a lovely, lovely book. I'm not one for new age angels, but the angels in Ashley's poems are something completely different and new. Once I read this book, her angels and her dead inhabited my dreams. There maybe be various reasons for light, but Ashley's poetry is one of the best.

I first read a poem from this on the Poets Online site and bought the book. It was even better than the one poem led me to expect. Angels, light, dark, resurrection and the soul all come together in these poems. What I enjoyed most is that the entire book reads so well as a book - not just as a collection of poems. Though they were published separately, I would have to believe some careful sequencing went into the book's design (it is in 5 parts) to achieve this. I went back to Amazon later & bought her earlier book (SALT) and hope to find her poems in periodicals.
