Ashtray Psalms: Poems from the Ashes of Me, (Paperback)

Ashtray Psalms: Poems from the Ashes of Me is a scorched confession. A survival map written in blood, smoke, and broken glass.

Aaron M. Gartin doesn't write to impress. He writes to survive-and to leave behind proof that survival is possible.

From addiction and prison cells to psych wards and spiritual scars, these poems are pulled from the wreckage of a life nearly lost. Every line is jagged. Every stanza is a scar. This isn't poetry for the polished. This is for the bruised, the burned, the ones still breathing through the smoke.

Split into five brutal and beautiful sections, Ashtray Psalms doesn't sugarcoat pain or pretend healing is linear. It speaks in the language of relapse and redemption, voices that won't shut up, and a love that finally taught him peace.

If you've ever looked in the mirror and hated what stared back-this book is for you.

If you've ever wanted to quit but didn't-this book is for you.

If you're still crawling through the ash hoping there's something worth saving-this book is for you.
