    Elinor Predota

    Elinor is a queer, genderfluid, bisexual witch, who lives in rural southern Scotland. Elinor's experiences there and in nearby landscapes are the inspiration for these poems. In addition to writing poetry, Elinor is a storyteller, singer, and artist, with a passion for the transformative power of creative expression through word, sound, and image.Elinor also mentors people who are committed to social justice, and want to be part of making a better world, but who struggle to put that commitment into action, because they feel overwhelmed, lack confidence, or are unsure where to start.
