Elizabeth Kincaid-Ehlers, '55

Elizabeth Kincaid-Ehlers' second poetry collection offers a rich variety of moods ranging from despair to hope, resignation to determination, fury to love. And always there is that wry (sometimes rueful) wit at play. Ending in a series of love poems addressed to children and grandchildren, the book paints the portrait of a splendidly unpredictable, courageous and humane woman.

Elizaeth Kincaid-Ehlers began making poems when she was three, engaging her mother as amanuensis. She has been making them ever since. Elizabeth was featured in the first year of the Sunken Garden Poetry Festival and has received many awards, including the North Country Poetry Prize and a Pushcart Prize nomination from Nimrod magazine.
