POET & ARTIST

Adrienne Asher’s poems explore ways of finding what female agency and power look like in mythology and history, how to love what perishes, and how our lives resemble and differ from our animal cousins. Her painting in oil range from realism and abstract, depending on the season. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her musician partner, a Maine Coon cat, and nine miles of books.
