Unconventionally Wired - Paperback

by Elle Parsons (Author)

Performance poet Elle Parsons' vibrant and eclectic debut collection

Elle Parsons is a Wellington based writer and poet. She entertains audiences in venues throughout New Zealand, both the North and South Islands, performing her chosen art form: poetry and verse. Her vibrant and eclectic debut collection is experimental, quirky, often funny, occasionally poignant, and sometimes dark.

Performance poetry is written to be spoken aloud and acted out before a live audience, where the voice, body movements, and delivery are part of the composition. Unlike poetry meant to be read quietly from a book, performance poetry relies on sound, rhythm, emotion and stage presence.

The cover image is a collage by Elle, showing a Fort in Delhi, India and portraying the unconventional brain. The chaoticness is symbolised by the jigsaw pieces and wire on the right side, while the sunflowers and a blue sky on the left side, symbolise normality.

I hope you enjoy the journey of reading my poetry as much I have enjoyed crafting it, Elle
