Perth Poetry Club has wonderful poet Elizabeth M Castillo (France) + open-mike this Saturday 22nd July, 2pm-4pm at The Moon Café and on ZOOM.
Elizabeth M Castillo (aka EMC) is a multilingual poet, writer, teacher and a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee. She lives in Paris with her family and two cats, where she writes a variety of different things, in a variety of different languages, and under a variety of pen names. Elizabeth is committed to promoting the indie arts, especially from women creators, and has a particular soft spot for women of colour who are also neurodivergent, much like herself. She’s found writing and creativity to be central to her own wellbeing and mental health, and is always keen to accompany other artists on their journey to developing their own authentic creative practice.
In her writing Elizabeth explores the different countries and cultures she grew up with, as well as themes of race & ethnicity, motherhood, womanhood, language, love, loss and grief, and a touch of magical realism. Her writing has been featured in publications and anthologies in the UK, US, Australia, Mexico and the Middle East. Her bilingual, debut collection “Cajoncito: Poems on Love, Loss, y Otras Locuras” is for sale on Amazon, and her debut chapbook "Not Quite an Ocean" is available now from Nine Pens Press. You can connect with her on Twitter and IG as @EMCWritesPoetry, or on her website
