Elizabeth Austen spent her teens and twenties working in the theatre. After a six-month solo walkabout in the Andes region of South America, she began writing poetry. Her chapbook, The Girl Who Goes Alone, reveals women in various states of unease confronting matters of faith, identity, and love. Molly Peacock describes Austen's second chapbook, Where Currents Meet (published as part of the anthology, Sightlines), as an "intense sequence of poems . written just at the nexus of social obligation and the desire to simply be." Austen's interviews and recordings of Pacific Northwest poetry readings can be heard on KUOW, 94.9, public radio.
