Ropes Poetry

The author, Ashot "Ash" Asaryan, was born in 1986 in Yerevan, Armenia. His parents migrated to the United States in 1987, settling in Los Angeles, California, where he's lived ever since. Growing up as a kid, his interests included books, math, video games, and basketball. Most of all, he enjoyed writing. Even before he learned to write, he remembers scribbling on every sheet of paper he got his hands on, filling up entire notebooks with gibberish. Fast track into young adulthood, he attended University of California – Irvine, majoring in Political Science. He then went on to attend two different graduate schools, earning two Masters, one in Psychology at Pepperdine University, and one in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Alliant University. While attending Alliant, he became employed with the Los Angeles County, eventually turning it into a career, working in the field of Change Management. In 2016, he married the love of his life. In 2020, they were blessed with the biggest miracle, a beautiful baby boy. He read poetry and wrote poems on and off throughout his life, but it wasn't until his wife and son came into his life that the idea for this book came around. An idea that is now a reality.
