EnglishWhat Is Ellen Steinbaum’s Website?
Updated
ellensteinbaum.com is the personal author site of Ellen Steinbaum, a poet and writer. It is the place to go if you want to learn about her books, find recordings and notes from her poetry readings, read a featured poem and quote, or buy her titles. The homepage presents her work directly rather than serving as a general literary magazine or bookstore.
What the site covers
The homepage is organized around a short set of sections:
- Home — A personal introduction from Steinbaum, framed around her recent book Leavings and how we live in the context of past, present, and future.
- Readings and Writings — Links and notes about her appearances, including the First and Last Word Poetry Series, a reading at the Grolier Poetry Bookshop, an email interview, and a Stockbridge Public Library reading.
- Poem of the moment — A featured poem, currently “The Intervening Day,” with a short reflection on ordinary days and gratitude.
- Books — Her available titles with prices and links to more detail.
- Quote of the moment — A rotating quotation; the current one is attributed to Albert Einstein.
Books listed on the site
The Books section lists five titles with prices and “read more” links:
| Title | Price |
|---|---|
| Leavings | $18.00 |
| This Next Tenderness | $18.00 |
| Brightness Falls | $18.00 |
| Container Gardening | $18.00 |
| Afterwords | $10.00 |
The site shows PayPal as a payment platform, so purchases appear to run through PayPal. The homepage does not state shipping terms, availability, or whether checkout requires an account; check the individual book pages before ordering.
Who it is for
This site suits readers who already know Steinbaum’s poetry or have heard her read and want to find her books in one place. It is also useful for event organizers or editors looking for her reading history and published work. If you are looking for a large catalog, reviews, or a general poetry resource, this is a single-author site and not that kind of destination.
Practical notes
- Start with Books if you want to browse or buy; each title has its own detail page.
- Use Readings and Writings to find links to recorded readings and an interview.
- The Poem of the moment and Quote of the moment change, so the homepage is worth revisiting.
- Credits on the homepage note that the author photo is by James Dalsimer, the book trailer by A. Dalsimer, and the Afterwords cover was designed by Kate Misail with cover painting by Eric Sealine.
