Ellen Everett is a poet, author, illustrator, and graphic designer from Tennessee with a passion for storytelling through both language and art. well, much the same as every poetry book in terms of themes xD But this one stood out to me as so much more ❤️ It just really touched me. Meus poemas favoritos foram sobre o amor, mas isso é particular, porque aqueles que demonstram dor são fortes, intensos, dolorosos como machucados.

If I were to teach a lesson on what I dislike in a collection of poetry, I would use this book as the prime example. Ellen has always been captivated by the process of taking an idea and turning it into something tangible and accessible. She graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a BFA in Graphic Design with a concentration of Illustration and from Roane State Community College with an AA in Mass Communications. She continues to express herself through language, art, and videography on her social media platforms. Ellen Everett's words enable readers to confront their deepest sorrows and piece together the parts that are broken.
