Ellen has been writing poetry for around two years and is a member of Kilkenny's Rhyme Rag Ensemble. She took part in #WEARETHEPOETS at Kilkenny Arts Festival 2019 in a collaboration between Kilkenny Arts Office and Laureate na nÓg that included a performance masterclass with performance poet John Cummins and a live poetry showcase at Kilkenny Castle. Ellen says she finds poetry "interesting, relaxing, and cathartic".
