Caitlin Ellis is a 23-year-old poet born and raised on Whadjuk Noongar Country (Perth, Western Australia). Her lifelong fascination with the written word has culminated in her passion for poetry and the freedom it allows to subvert traditional literary conventions.

Caitlin’s work examines the mundane and the morbid, and candidly dissects concepts of identity, growth, trauma, and transformation with a passion for highlighting that which is curious and beautiful.

Worm Food and Bone Sand is her debut poetry collection.
