Elena Brake is an artist, poet and mechanical engineer in training. She grew up in the small market town of Axminster. Elena’s poetry is driven by curiosity, bringing technical learnings from mechanical engineering to observations of the natural and built world, with place and memory woven in. Her debut poetry collection, Woven Paths, invites the reader to explore playful connections between things that are often seen as opposites, and to find beauty in the tapestry that results.
