About Author

Immortality is the only true way to describe Ashley VanWagenen.  Her poems will live on far beyond our time and she will be remembered as one of the greatest authors of the century.  But who is Ashley VanWagenen?  Ashley is a great love, a true friend, a wonderful daughter and sister, and overall a creative soul.  Ashley is the type of woman who can always bring a smile to your lips just by showing up.  Never have I felt such warmth from another human being.  This always cheery woman fills every room with positivity and always has something clever to add to any topic.  But as intelligent, kind, caring, and wonderful as she is, absolutely nothing comes greater to her than her sense of creativity.  Ashley VanWagenen has always been a creator.  On May 15th, 2010 at the age of Fourteen, Ashley was runner up for the VFW Youth Essay Contest and received the Patriot’s Pen, An exceptional Spokesperson for Patriotism.  Ashley VanWagenen has also had several of her poems appear in several poetry books titled “A Celebration of Poets”, Volumes “Fall of 2010, Spring of 2010, Summer of 2010, Spring of 2011, Summer of 2011, Fall of 2013, Spring of 2013, Summer of 2013, Spring of 2014” all feature poems from the incredible writings of Ashley VanWagenen.  This child prodigy has delighted countless readers in other’s books and now she dazzles you with the treat of her own book.  I find it an immense honor of being the subject of her first book.  It is a privilege and an honor to be remembered as such a creative spark for such a genius.  I can assure you that everything that I have written is completely genuine and my honest opinion of the lovely Ashley VanWagenen.  I truly believe every reader will love Ashley’s poems and find her different then the average poet.  There is no doubt in my mind that Ashley VanWagenen, due to her amazing determination, craft and intelligence will go down as the greatest poet in American history.
