BIO
Ellaraine has received her eleventh Pushcart Prize nomination for poems, the Writecorner Press Poetry
Prize, the Skysaje Poetry Prize, the Deane Wagner Poetry Prize, the Elizabeth R. Curry Prize and finalist status for Mudfish
Poetry Prize, the Joy Harjo Poetry Award and the Creekwalker Poetry Prize. She is a frequent judge of poetry contests, edits
poetry on a free-lance basis and has taught her poetry/writing workshop for schools, libraries and writing groups for several
years. Her recent chapbook Blue Ribbons at the County Fair is a collection of first-place contest winning poems. About that
chapbook:
"Blue Ribbons at the County Fair is a fiercely beautiful and quietly angry collection rendered in language that is as rocky as the
Montana landscape. It is highly recommended not only to those with an interest in contemporary women writers, but for readers
who love the American West and are eager to read more from its talented, but often underrepresented, authors." -- JoSelle
Vanderhooft, The Pedestal Magazine
"Ellaraine is a true independent, unfazed by literary convention. . . She is one of the best, & Blue Ribbons at the County Fair
is essential Lockie, worth twice the price."—Eric Greinke, Presa
"Her poems speak of times that have changed, relationships that have been lost, memories that have been tenaciously hoarded.
These memories are like flowers pressed between the pages of a book; they are the book lyrically and exquisitely written -
a celebration of many years, many blue ribbons won at the county fair."—David Fraser, Ascent Aspirations
