Big thanks to @ghostcitypress.bsky.social for publishing my first poetry pamphlet! This series was first inspired by my encounter at SeaWorld with Tilikum, and by the Soviet space dog Laika. Please read and share! ✨

wanted to announce that @ghostcitypress.bsky.social is publishing my micro-chapbook ‘Two-Legged Killers’ this year!

i started working on this poetry collection after reflecting on the time i met the orca Tilikum at Sea World as a little girl.

i’m so excited to share this collection!

the heartbeat of the moon or the distinct horror from a solar flare that sears mercury and tans the blood of mars. saturn’s halo cuts like a knife across the stomach of jupiter. render the mother barren; skin stretched and blemished beautifully. a cluster of neptune and uranus screaming into the infinite void, where life ends and begins. a sleeping beast lies beyond andromeda’s rage but, where’s the rest of it? poetry by ellen w. 2024
