Description
In Write About an Empty Birdcage, Ellis sets out to trace the lineage of various personal disasters, including a break-up, an eating disorder, and a complex balance of identities. She writes about queerness, Jewish heritage, and embodied femininity, with a critique of power that blends humor, the mess of confession, and a reverence for tension. Ellis is a new poet to watch out for.

Reviews
Elaina M. Ellis has a voice that cuts through wool. Rich in sound and sense, meaning and madness, she signals and signifies. Her imagery comes from a place of truth and her people sweat and breathe. Hers is a talent that can set the world on fire.

How very lucky we are to have a poet who can write and say with beauty and conviction so many parts of life and love that people tell us are bad or wrong. I'm better off for reading and re-reading Ms. Ellis' work, and my guess is you will be better off too.
