Ellery is songwriter/vocalist/pianist Tasha Golden and producer/guitarist/etc Justin Golden. They released several albums, and their songs are heard in feature films and TV dramas (ABC, SHOWTIME, FOX, NETFLIX, etc). Ellery’s “romantish” lush-pop style was honed over years touring the US and abroad; the band now writes and records between influential projects in research and podcast/post-production audio worlds.

Golden is the author of Once You Had Hands

A book of poems published by Humanist Press, featuring photographs by Michael Wilson.

“You want to read these poems, consume them, and rebuild the world because of them”

- Crabfat Magazine, 2016

"Once You Had Hands is a bold, nuanced debut"

- Cincinnati CityBeat

"stunning language that is delicate and raw"

- Humanist Press

More reviews

“Tasha Golden's Once You Had Hands is a smart and moving book of poetry. There is a fierce voice here that can make you feel danger without always naming it, and it is indeed a dangerous world that we meet here. Golden has sharp senses and wit in depicting her disappointment and fury at religious promises. There is joy here too, hard won, and quietly compelling.”
Jennifer Michael Hecht, author of Stay and Doubt: A History

“When ‘Christian’ attitudes, rituals, and abuses…are part of one's formative experience of the richness of life itself, how does one extricate oneself from the perversion of this ‘religion’ yet affirm the glory and terror of existence? This book is a feral cry that invents the only form that can contain it…I am at a loss to describe that power. I can only urge you to read it.
– James Cummins, author of Still Some Cake

“Interspersed with inspired manipulations of poems by the metaphysical Henry Vaughan, and the evocative photos of Michael Wilson, Golden’s work will stay with the reader for a long time.
– Norman Finkelstein, author of Track

“Twice a week Tasha Golden walks through six secure doors to the classroom where she teaches poetry to the young women as part of their school day at Louisville Metro Youth Detention Services downtown...

They're a group that often goes unseen and unheard in society, but Golden spends enough time behind the detention center's doors to know these young women have plenty to say.

It's her mission to help others hear them...”
