Poet Jane Hirshfield describes Elizabeth Austen’s work as “powerfully original in both vision and voice.” For the past 10 years, Austen has produced author interviews and poetry commentary for KUOW 94.9 public radio. She has also authored two chapbooks, The Girl Who Goes Alone (Floating Bridge Press, 2010) and Where Currents Meet, one of four winners of the Toadlily Press chapbook award and part of the quartet, Sightline.
