Description

In A Body Made of Weather, Ashley Logan gathers a decade of poetry into a fierce, unflinching exploration of what it means to live inside a body that remembers everything.

Moving through landscapes of trauma, longing, desire, and renewal, these poems grapple with the quiet violences we carry and the radical act of survival that follows. The voice here is both witness and participant—tender and savage, fractured and whole—tracing a path from silence toward articulation, from dispossession toward reclamation.

Nature hums beneath every line: forests burn and regrow, tides recede to reveal what has been hidden, bodies learn to speak in the languages of weather, bone, and breath. Through it all, Ashley asks: What does it mean to belong to yourself?

At once deeply personal and strikingly universal, A Body Made of Weather is a collection about becoming—about learning to listen inward, to hold grief without surrendering to it, and to live, finally, without asking permission.
