Asbury's debut poetry collection, <em>Woman with Crows, </em> explores the roles of women from childhood to adulthood. From "Big-Kid Legends" to "The Obituary Phase of Life," Asbury weaves together the voices of myth, folklore, and family story. What emerges is a vibrant tapestry of family, love, and loss.</p><p> </p><p>Crystal Wilkinson, author of <em>Birds of Opulence, </em>suggests the poems "delve into mythologies old and new." Mina from <em>Dracula </em>makes an appearance, as do the unnamed sister of Icarus and a certain sleepy, apple-eating princess.</p><p> </p><p>Many of the poems explore traditional tasks, such as cleaning, canning, and caregiving, as Rita Quillen, author of <em>Wayland</em> and <em>Some Note You Hold. </em>These are poems of "the complex social contract," Quillen says, "that women sign without knowing it." Keeping the family history, preserving the stories as efficiently as the summer's harvest, <em>Woman with Crows </em>feels the weight of the past while flying toward survival.</p><p> </p><p>This is a book "engaged with deeper, more difficult beauties of the world," according to Diane Gilliam, author of <em>Kettlebottom </em>and <em>Dreadful Wind & Rain.</em> "These poems have a wingspan that gathers both light and dark, silence and voice, this side and the other."</p><p> </p><p>From this side to the other, <em>Woman with Crows </em>prepares to make journey both familiar and strange . . . But always full of wonder.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
