Poetry by Ashe
Missing the Mark was born of deep sorrow.
​
The poems were written to house the pain of loss and were never
intended to be shared with an audience.
​
However, as the project grew, it became clear that these poems spoke, not to an individual understanding, but to something greater than a single "self".
​
Anguish, while fiercely personal, is also a shared experience,
an intimate knowledge we all carry.
​
This collection is a reflection of breaking, of being broken, and of the long, trembling silence
before the damage can begin to mend.
​
These words are for all of us.

Half the profit after production from MIssing the Mark will be donated biannually
