Ashley Memory

Ashley Memory makes her home in the ancient Uwharrie mountains west of Asheboro, North Carolina with her husband, the sculptor Johnpaul Harris. When she’s not musing on a new metaphor, she’s either hollering for the dogs or learning to move earth with a skid-steer loader. Her writing has recently appeared in The Rumpus, The Sun, O. Henry Magazine, and Rooted in Rights, among other publications. She is a Pushcart Prize nominee and a two-time recipient of The Doris Betts Fiction Prize sponsored by the N.C. Writers’ Network. In November 2019, Finishing Line Press published her first poetry collection, Waiting for the Wood Thrush. https://ashley-memory.com/about/
