Versatile (verse-a-tile) is a personal, unfiltered tour through internal struggles, self love and... butts? Not too many can pull that off, but Ashton Lee shows that he is a master at mixing humor and heart with wordplay. This book's title also serves as a nod to Richmond, VA's longest running open mic venue: Tuesday Verses. In fact, some of the book's poems and lyrics have been performed over the years on the venue's stage.

Versatile Verse is a collection of the author?s poems written over many years, in many cases for family and friends. The verses reflect the author?s varied life, lived out most notably in the halls of Oxford University and the battlefields of Italy, where he served as a young officer during World War II. Moving, insightful and often amusing, they have entertained many, and through this book are now available to a wider audience. A number of the poems reflect matters of contemporary concern, while others are concerned with insight into the human condition.ÿ
