Book of Poems.
Visions from and of the void.
Ellipsism is a word with a shifting definition. It's the sense of sadness experienced when you realize that you won't live to see the future. That feeling means something different to each and every person. This poetry anthology is my interpretation of that definition. Ellipsism at its core is meant to make you think about what that definition means to you.
"It's hard to define a feeling."
Proceeds from Ellipsism directly benefit ALIVE St. Louis.
(Alternatives to Living in Violent Environments) (ALIVE) has empowered St. Louis area families impacted by domestic abuse. The nonprofit agency's mission is to provide counseling, emergency sanctuary, and other critical services to adults and children impacted by domestic abuse, as well as to increase awareness in order to create a supportive community.
Services are available to all domestic violence survivors, regardless of gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, ability, age, or socioeconomic means. ALIVE's offices and shelter locations are fully accessible, and resources are available to accommodate individuals with special needs.
My name is Alex Zivic.
