BLOOD BELIES
Buckrider Books, Wolsak & Wynn

​"Blood Belies is daring in its expansiveness." – Wanda Praamsma, The Toronto Star

“These poems probe at all the landscapes that haunt us [...] with a precise voice that is sometimes quiet and sometimes roaring to be heard." –Jen Sookfong Lee, author of Superfan: How Pop Culture Broke My Heart


"Beyond its beauty and its ability to be cherished as a material and spiritual object, Blood Belies leaves us with the freedom to notice our own fragmentation [...]" – Jérôme Melançon, The Temz Review

ELLEN CHANG-RICHARDSON is an award-winning poet, multi-genre writer, judicial assistant, and editor of Taiwanese and Chinese Cambodian descent. The author of Blood Belies (Wolsak & Wynn, 2024) and author/co-author of seven poetry chapbooks, their writing has appeared in Augur, Anti-Heroin Chic, the Ex-Puritan, the Fiddlehead, Grain, Plenitude, Watch Your Head, Vallum Contemporary, among others.

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, 
by geopolitics, memory, and their experiences moving through society as a femme-presenting genderqueer. Co-founder of Riverbed Reading Series, an editor for Room and ​long con magazine, and a member of the poetry collective VII, Ellen is currently based on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe.*

They are a full member of the League of Canadian Poets and the Writers' Union of Canada.
