Love's Lobotomy

Swaizi Vaughan Ellis is a writer, model, and creative born in Gainesville, Texas. Her mother, also a poet, was very supportive of Swaizi's free spirited nature. Her mother's support, accompanied with the love of her grandparents, helped Swaizi to discover who she was very early on. At the age of nine, she began writing songs and later transitioned into writing poetry. Writing helped Swaizi to express things that she could not verbalize. After moving to Dallas, Texas, Swaizi actively pursued her career in the arts. She cultivated her skills as a painter and designer, wrote think pieces for local magazines and blogs, and became a published model. In 2016, two of her poems 'E-Turn, Next Left, Dead In' and 'Prepubescent Khonsu' were published in The Poetic Bond VI, an international series of anthologies. Love's Lobotomy, Swaizi's first book, is comprised of her experiences with love in every form. Love's Lobotomy breaks down the senses and illustrates the raw emotion of evolving as a person and artist.
