    About this ebook

    The poetry within “THE HALF HORIZON” is written by Ellie Kapsalis, a Bay Area native teenager, whose love for poetry had derived at the brink of her adolescence by her love for art and nature. Kapsalis has chosen poetry as one of the ways in which she externalizes her thoughts with warmth and understanding as an outlet and reflection of life’s pathways ahead of her.

    Ellie Kapsalis

    THE HALF HORIZON is a compilation of poems in which Kapsalis strives to deliver a connection between one’s heart, soul, and mind as one navigates through life’s bliss and sorrows. Kapsalis also embraces her Greek and Chinese heritage, it having birthed many of her artistic influences.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
