"I got your book in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I've had it often at my side while working. I sneak moments to pick it up and pour over the words, now made flesh. Often I feel that you're speaking to my soul. I think that is the gift, the daemon, of a true poet. She expresses not only herself, but soul layered upon soul that have all existed at the same undiluted intervals of consciousness.

I'm ecstatic that you've published, and am self-indulgently looking forward to many future publications from you. When friends are over, I show them your book. They pick it up, open the pages, the apertures of their souls open. Your words enter. I know they are being changed."

Andra Dare


OUTCRIES is the first collection of poems from an outstanding new poet – Ellen Zaks.

In a dazzling fusion of myth, fairy-tale and the metaphysical, her unique voice cries out with fearless passion and sensuality.

"With rich and often startling imagery, Ellen Zaks creates in her poems an emotional charge, which is both spiritual and erotic. An exciting talent." D.M. Thomas (Author of The White Hotel)

Her darkly beautiful world resonates with underlying romanticism and mysticism that is never sentimental. The images are profound, often visual and eminently quotable:‘Did we not write our names upon the black porcelain of night, fingers dripping with gold?’ (Lament).

Writing from a 21st century viewpoint on quantum physics and cosmology, Ellen Zaks bravely addresses the rites of passage of life and death. This viewpoint also leads her to explore the strange underbelly of the ‘living, breathing’ internet.

‘Outcries’ the CD – with soundscapes by Subliminal Attraction will soon be available.




SNOW QUEEN

Northern lights hook at the sky,
race the magnesium flares
roaring along the route.

Flocks of birds of one mind
bank and rush into depressions,
white in the chemical brightness.

A hush rings quarter-notes
off the sleigh-runners,
marking the intervals before arrival.

The Home-Coming Snow Queen
trails ice-flows, her childhood,
rocks crushed by her passing.


APOLLO

I met the god Apollo in my sleep.
He was real, for I could smell his sweat
but his eyes I cannot describe.

There was one who stood in the way.
She had red shoes and hair
and looked just like me.

He shook his head at our rivalry,
so the jewels in his close-cropped hair
ricocheted and spun

and he laughed in a manner not at all human.
The diamonds in his teeth
shone like tiny suns.

We said we had been waiting for him a long time.
Then he held us safe and close
and we feasted in the windfall of his smile.

Today I like -
Passion, movement, life, saying yes, saying no, stamping my feet (flamenco), excitement, flirting, being lazy, letting my hair grow long, stretching, hot sun on my skin, the smell of jasmine, jokes, red wine and Coca-Cola, bicycling, ballet dancing, the cosmos, psychology, the esoteric, new inventions, losing myself in a novel, de-constructing TV, films etc., the times when I have to write poetry, learning to speak Spanish, cacti, because no two are alike, fast cars, rituals, processions, frankincense, renaissance art, Egyptian art and Isis, Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, Maria Callas, although I cry every time I listen to her, the view of Africa over the Mediterranean at dusk, Mediaeval music, eastern music, reggae, Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' Rammstein, warm summer nights, playing castanets, the pageantry of Semana Santa, horses at the ferias, cloud patterns, stars, eclipses, comets, the smell of turpentine when I'm painting, the glory of colour, the miracle of a painting coming together, life drawing, the beauty of the naked body (well toned of course), laughing at myself, wondering what's going to happen next, romance, dressing up and going out, cats, cups of tea with toast and honey, the endless riddle of why we are here and where we are going, all the answerable mysteries we shall maybe only solve when we are beyond life.

Me

Born screaming small into this world
Living I am.
Occupational therapy twixt birth and death–
What was I before?
What will I be next?
What am I now?
Cruel answer carried in the jesting mind
of a careless God
I will not bend and grovel
When I die. If He says my sins are myriad
I will ask why He made me so imperfect
And he will say 'My chisels were blunt'
I will say 'Then why did you make so
many of me?'

Poem by Spike Milligan

OUTCRIES
Skin2Soul/Subliminal Attraction.


These poem-songs based on my collection .. OUTCRIES, came into being through a collaboration with Sub@. They concern themselves with love in many forms .. the ecstatic, physical and spiritual. Sometimes they are joyful celebrations and at other times they cry out in pain.


Ellen Zaks, 6 February 2008.

Hello my dear Ellen, I was thinking about you today, feeling immensely grateful right in the center of my chest for the love and encouragement you've given me during the past couple of years. I hope you are well and loved and happy; you are certainly held in fondest regards. Hope the dark season is filled with precious things :)

much love,

Andra
