Write about an Empty Birdcage - Paperback

by Elaina M. Ellis (Author)

Write An Empty Birdcage is an unorthodox instruction manual for the broken hearted. Ellis sets out to trace the lineage of various personal disasters. These poems explicitly explore identity, queerness, Jewish heritage, and embodied femininity. They do so with a critique of power that blends humor, the mess of confession, and a reverence for tension.
