Welcome to Poetry Week!

Eco-poetry shimmers among author and poet Ashley Wagner's fascinating work. In her collection of poetry East Coast Blues, the poetry explores the meaning of home. We discussed how important poetry is as well as her writing style. 

About the book:

East Coast Blues is a two-part meditation on the meaning of home. It slips from season to season, from mountain face to the mouth of the sea, chronicling one twenty-something-year-old woman’s journey from a place of isolation into one of belonging. The speaker is soft-spoken yet attentive to the world around her. She renders her surroundings in sharp detail, drawing the reader deeper into her life with every poem, introducing them to a new friend—be it human or animal—with each turn of the page.
