RUPTURES is a collection of poetry about survival, loss, trauma and addiction. After being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD in 2015, Ellise has lived her life in a constant brink of chaos and euphoria. Her poetry is contemporary, insanity, addiction, escape and trauma. It is a desperate woman's attempt to claw, carve and sear her mark in a world that has continuously denied and forgotten her. It is also a testament to her identity, one that's slowly being torn apart by her disease. She hopes that her poetry will find its place in your heart:

"I love you. The misunderstood, the confused, the lost and the lonely. We are artists through and through, and this world is wonderful because of you."

-Ellise Ramos

About the Author

Ellise Ramos is a writer from Toronto who lives with her immortal cat, Sharptooth, is drowning in books, and would inject caffeine in her veins if she could. Living with Bipolar Disorder I, PTSD and ADHD, she is an advocate for mental health awareness and documents her struggles in her blog, bipolarandmotherhood.ca. She has been published in various literary magazines, such as The Malahat Review. You can see a list of her publications in her site, elliseramos.com.When the pandemic happened, Ellise decided to get married, have a son and change her name to Harmony van der Schyff. Oh, and to start her own business collecting and restoring vintage jewelry. You can see her latest obsession over at auctionhuntersdesigns.ca but give it a few more years (or months) and for sure she would have moved on to something else. Like maybe another name. Or cat. WHO KNOWS.When she's not obsessing over a new hobby, she is facilitating writing workshops for the Writers Collective of Canada, googling everything, inhaling science fiction and true crime documentaries, and going on wikipedia binges.
