"After hearing poet Ellyn Maybe read, how does one describe a woman of such wit & wisdom?"
~Edgar & Lenore's Publishing House
Ellyn Maybe, first published by Henry Rollins is the grand alchemist of spoken word, teasing the elements of music and transcendence then fusing them together. She is a puppeteer of epic word-play and refreshingly, a slightly off-key instrument of expression, vulnerability and humor.

Ellyn doesn't just read her poetry, she is her poetry.
She encapsulates the senses with aesthetic precision and a gentle intensity. She possesses the ability to captivate her audience by turning language inside out and finding the connection between the absurd and the mundane. Her voice is one of rare propensity which, by all accounts, is tear-like and joyful, child-like and wise. When listening to her read poems like Ocean Song and City Streets, Ellyn forces your eyes open with the duality of emotion portrayed in her work.
Ellyn's poetry has teeth, and once bitten, listeners are infected by the rabid brilliance that has continued to ignite hearts worldwide.
Cinematic, profound, and inspiring is the voice of Ellyn Maybe.
