At First Light
At First Light, is the third poetry book written by Ella Zelensky. Divided into six chapters - struggling, conquering, growing, travelling, dreaming and loving - At First Light comes in with newfound confidence, the embrace of hard life lessons, a deeper dive into world issues, awareness of self and other, and what love means. Whilst Little Dreamer’s poems were written from the perspective of a 13 year old grade eight student, At First Light marks an evolution of character - the poems having been written in the perspective of a 21 year old fourth year uni student within a completely different place in her life. It is a book that celebrates such change, and survival at all, through adversity, encouraging its readers to think critically about social dynamics, social environments and the world at large. With moments of wit, laughter, shock and clarity, At First Light takes you on a guided journey that opens the mind and leaves it thinking, opens the heart and leaves it feeling, and opens the ears and leaves them listening.
