is an award-winning poet, a writer, and an editor, of Taiwanese and Chinese Cambodian descent whose multi-genre writing has appeared in Anti-Heroin Chic, Augur, The Fiddlehead, third coast magazine, Vallum Contemporary, and more.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, they were raised in Oakville, Ontario and São Paulo, Brazil, and spent their most formative years growing up in Shanghai, China. A third culture kid at heart, Ellen's writing is informed by their love of contemporary art, their concern with the climate crisis, and their experience moving through the world as they are.
