RUPTURES is a collection of poetry about survival, loss, trauma, and addiction. After being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD in 2015, Ellise has lived her life on a constant brink of chaos and euphoria. Her poetry is contemporary, insanity, addiction, escape, and trauma. It is a desperate woman’s attempt to claw, carve, and sear her mark in a world that has continuously denied and forgotten her. It is also a testament to her identity, one that’s slowly being torn apart by her disease. She hopes that her poetry will find its place in your heart.

“I love you. The misunderstood, the confused, the lost, and the lonely. We are artists through and through, and this world is wonderful because of you.”
