Previous books look at Irish history from the perspective of butter (Butter Intervention, Veer 2, 2022), the teaching life of Stéphane Mallarmé (Morsel May Sleep, Sublunary Editions, 2021), and Stephen Malkmus’s guitar (Sonnets to Malkmus, Sad Press, 2019). Her chapbooks include Heave (Smithereens Press, 2018), Achatina, achatina! (SoundEye Press, 2019) and Excavate (Poems after Pasolini) (2020, Oystercatcher Press). She was also a board member for the much-loved SoundEye Festival.

On the evening, Ellen will read from work-in-progress, followed by a Q&A. What a thrill!
