Less relevant here … Short:
Lena Vanelslander swam many waters. History, Comparative Cultural Analysis, Languages, Mythology, Literature, Poetry, too many to sum up. After a life of tribulations the turning point came in her mid twenties: she started to write actively poetry in English. Her melancholic and darkminded nature colour her poems to an individual signature in both time and space. Poems got published in the Stray Branch, Savage Manners, the Delinquent and The Sylvan Echo. Her first chapbook ‘Ma Chanson de Rien du Tout’ will appear in September 2009 (Covert Press). Her first book of poetry, written with Marilyn Campiz, Quills of Fire, will appear in November 2009 (PublishAmerica). Currently she’s a contributing editor for Gloom Cupboard to profile writers, an editor for Outsider Writers to profile poets and soon she will be accepting submissions of poetry for the same site.
