worth revisiting—saline
rolling across our tongues
entwined and shimmering
certain now
of our existence
akin to flavour
like pinches of white pepper
nestled in the depths
of long auburn hair

Ellen Chang-Richardson is an award-winning poet, multi-genre writer, judicial assistant, and editor of Taiwanese and Chinese Cambodian descent. A third culture kid at heart, Ellen’s writing is informed by their love of contemporary art, their concern with humanity’s impact on Earth, and their experience moving through various societies as a femme-presenting genderqueer.
The author/co-author of six other poetry chapbooks, Ellen’s multi-genre writing has appeared in Augur, Anti-Heroin Chic, the Ex-Puritan, the Fiddlehead, Grain, Plenitude, Watch Your Head, and more. Their debut collection, Blood Belies (Wolsak & Wynn, 2024), was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award.
They are a co-founder of Riverbed Reading Series, an editor for Room and long con magazine, and a member of the poetry collective VII.
