"...a portrait of slow muting, of unfeeling and haunt. Each small vignette is a window into a life of macabre observation, quiet apathy, numbed survival and rage, dotted with moments of tenderness."

-Kai Coggin, author of Mining for Stardust, Incandescent, and Wingspan


"With Vanishing Below the Waist, Ellie White eloquently gives voice to frequently silenced medical conditions that can be faced by people with vaginas, such as dyspareunia, vulvodynia, and endometrioma. Vanishing Below the Waist provides a brave and unflinching portrayal of living in a body that's riddled with question. These poems defy patriarchally constructed notions of shame without ever feeling preachy or pedantic. With elegant lyricism and spellbinding imagery, White's poems dazzle as much as they rage; they glitter and burn, sing pretty and haunt."

-Stevie Edwards, author of Quiet Armor

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great compilation of poems!

What a great compilation of poems! Ellie White is honest. She allows herself to be vulnerable. She is among the best creative writers covering the essence of being a woman.
Ellie covers other topics using sometimes gentle but sometimes forceful words. You are missing something if you don't read this book.
(Please be aware that parts of her book are not for those with a faint heart.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic - highly recommend

This is Ellie White’s 4th book, and if you haven’t already gotten the previous ones, definitely search them out.

If you, or someone you love deals with vulvodynia, endometriosis, or another condition that leaves them at war with their body, this is a deep look into what that does to someone’s psyche.

Themes of grief, loss, and guilt run throughout. I can’t recommend this enough either for yourself or as a gift.

3.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful way to represent the female body
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024
A collection of poems centering around the female body & medical conditions not often talked about.
Endometrioma was my favorite poem in this collection, albeit sad as it was. Some of these conditions I had never heard of before. I definitely recommend for that reason alone. It was definitely a new experience to learn about conditions that could affect my own body in such a lyrical & symbolic way.

5.0 out of 5 stars These Poems Whisper & Confide, Amplify & Cast Spells
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024
I have not read Ellie White's poetry before and am thrilled to have discovered "Vanishing Below the Waist." Her poems whisper and confide, amplify and cast spells -- they sparkle like the glitter and silver stars from her "Poem in Which I Expand." Looking forward to following her work.
