Ellora Sutton

Little Bitch – pre-order my debut collection now!

Hello!

My name is Ellora Sutton and I am a poet living in the wilds of North East Hampshire. I have been the Poet-in-Residence at both Jane Austen’s House and Petersfield Museum, and I am currently the poetry reviewer for Mslexia. My pamphlets include the Poetry Book Society Spring 2023 Pamphlet Choice Antonyms for Burial (Fourteen Poems) and Artisanal Slush (Verve Poetry Press).

I am researching a PhD in English at Northeastern University London, using poetry as a practice-based research method to explore how women experience museums as walkable urban spaces in London. My preoccupations include psychogeography, ekphrasis, (counter) tourism, and museum giftshops. Some of my favourite recent exhibitions include Tirzah Garwood: Beyond Ravilious at Dulwich Picture Gallery and Cute at Somerset House. My happy place is sitting in front of Stubbs’ Whistlejacket at the National Gallery.

I have been published online and in print by The Poetry Review, Popshot, Poetry News, fourteen poems, The North, Oxford Poetry, Under the Radar, bath magg, and The Interpreter’s House, amongst others.

I have won the Mslexia Poetry Competition, the Artlyst Art to Poetry Award, the Pre-Raphaelite Society Poetry Competition, and several Young Poets Network challenges. I have been highly commended in the Keats-Shelley Prize, commended in the Winchester Poetry Prize, longlisted for the National Poetry Competition, and shortlisted for the Bridport Prize.
