Harvest, her second poetry book, is a call to celebrate joy and abundance after a season of effort and planting seeds. The first, The Sun Always Knows Where to Find Me (2021), a story of heartbreak and comeback to oneself, was praised for its depth and ability to mirror readers' feelings. Elodie Parthenay's work also appeared in Woven With Brown Thread (2021), a collection of poetry curated by renowned poet Upile Chisala featuring 25 Black poets from all around the world. She studied creative writing at UCLA, where she was nominated for the Allegra Johnson Prize for Fiction for her work on an upcoming fantasy novel.A hopeless romantic and die-hard optimist, her poetry revolves about love, loss, sisterhood and self-love, as seen and experienced by a queer woman of colour. She lives with her daughter and their fluffy rescue cat, Flerken. When she's not creating poetry, she practices mindfulness meditation and writes about lifestyle, health, relationships and astrology for Women's magazines.Find her on instagram at @elodiewrites, and online at www.elodieparthenay.com.view less
