Grit, Black, Blood
Ashley Erwin
Happily, Ashley Erwin’s (@littleblndninja) reading last night in Louisville was as much performative as it was literary. It’s important to know how to DELIVER a piece of writing, to transform the written to the aural. Her new book is Grit, Black, Blood, on @ShotgunHoney Books. https://t.co/mudGPlxRLg
