Unconventionally Wired

Performance poet Elle Parsons' vibrant and eclectic debut collectionElle 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
