Ash Ehmka is a queer sixteen year old central Connecticut writer living off of Zoloft and drinking Koffee? on the city bus. They got their start writing when their sibling taught them to read poetry and they got called an old soul in first grade. Ash can be found at the library. Their work can be found at The Poetry Super Highway and The Poetry Lighthouse. Ash is looking to get published so their cats will stop conducting symphonies (screaming) outside their door while they're trying to write.
