Ashley Wagner is a queer writer, reader, and roller-chick haunting Baltimore. Her work has appeared in Whale Road Review, OVERHEARD, and Door Is A Jar Magazine, among others. She is the poetry editor for Ligeia Magazine.

Her debut chapbook, East Coast Blues, is out now with Bottlecap Press as part of their Bottlecap Features series. She has recently begun work on a second collection, tentatively titled Oblivion.

In 2020, her poem “Second Fiddle” placed first in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s Gold Circle Awards for free form poetry.

She resides somewhere in Maryland with her partner and their cat, where she spends her time editing for an educational publisher, meditating, collecting cool rocks, making elaborate collages, and taking an inordinate amount of photos of her friends.
