On Spiders & Flies
To move people with words and expectations, you've got a talent for writing. It may look like an exaggeration to say that this is one of my favorite submissions to the jam, but through sheer narrative and a powerful shock, this poem became one of the most memorable submissions.

On Lilies and Roses & Heartbreak
I really resonated with what you wrote, Ash. In many ways, I felt the same after ending my own prior relationship. It's good you ended it how you did, with a suggestion of healing and closure. I enjoyed your symbolism with nature and spiritualism intertwined. Also the references to physical anatomy in a more raw, grounded feeling. I loved it and it really just highlights how fantastic of a writer you really are.
