Write about an Empty Birdcage
Write about an Empty Birdcage | Elaina M Ellis
1 post | 1 read
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.

For the people unsure if poetry is for them, I give you some select lines:

"Use negative space to wind a song/from the place on the dresser where a music box isn't." 'Write about an Empty Birdcage'

"...a world where scientists//blow up romance on the regular." 'Off-Screen'

"The volume at which we laughed was neon." 'It Should Be Said that We Looked Good Together" #poetry #writebloody
