Rather than make the statement that she speaks German, Elisabeth Kinsey calls herself a German enthusiast since the German language, while precise, also expands and holds layered weights of meaning. She translates German in order to join its consciousness and let it erupt inside her psyche. She holds two Creative Writing degrees and is ABD in her PhD at the University of Denver in Literary Studies. She is published in Emergency, Apogee, Wazee Journal, The Coil and more.
