The comic Ashley (AF) Harrold, our poet for the evening, is an English eccentric, a machine-gun wordsmith whose paeans of praise address famous actresses, radio sweethearts, and assorted wildlife. If you like a bit of irreverence with your rock or a haiku with your blues, and you fancy ending the evening with a grin on your face, this is for you.
 
 
 
The cosmic Ashley Harrold’s collection Logic of the Heart is a gorgeous book. Harrold’s sensuous, sensitive poems are brave and compassionate. He perpetually walks the tightrope between thought and feeling, logic and the heart. Yet he retains an ironic, amused, self-deprecating, almost bewildered tone that is sometimes charged with exuberance and deliberately over-the-top heroism.
