    • About Me

    I hold a Ph.D. in English from Queen's University Belfast with a dissertation on James Joyce as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, an MFA in Poetics and Creative Writing from New College of California, and a BA from the still-successful Evergreen State College. Currently I am a Contributing Editor to Poets' Quarterly and a Liberal Arts Instructor at the College of the Marshall Islands.

    I blog at www.elizabethkateswitaj.net

    Any favorite authors? Books?

    Well, there's this one drunk Irishman who lived in Trieste for a while . . .

    Re-Joyce,

    Looked like a cool thing to look into. Just emailed you.

    Amanda Harris – Jun 08, 2013

    Thanks for your words on "Carver". I think that I've always felt (or maybe wanted to feel) that my body was mutable, changeable-maybe not permeable but something I could "modify".

    Amanda Harris – May 18, 2013

    Thank you so much, Elizabeth, for commenting on and faving "After Prom". I think it's kinda awesome that you contributed to an anthology on Lady Gaga-"Just Dance" was playing at the prom that inspired my poem.

    Glad you liked Kahma. I don't talk like that, honest.

    Joani Reese – Nov 28, 2010

    Thanks for liking my poem "Morning," Elizabeth. I appreciate your kind words.

    Meg Pokrass – Nov 27, 2010

    Kate - I'm glad you liked Hinky and Claudette. Thanks very much for reading it and for your nice comment!

    Nicolette Wong – Nov 20, 2010

    Thanks for your comment on my story 'Equilibrium', Elizabeth. Much appreciated! Look forward to reading your work too.

    Elizabeth, thank you for finding Lake Chelan and for your lovely comments about it!

    Thanks, Elizabeth! (Re: my profile picture.) It was taken in Amsterdam. Just read your bio --- your life sounds amazingly interesting! I also used to live in Brooklyn.

    Julie Innis – Oct 09, 2010

    Really enjoyed The Secret Life - looking forward to reading more of your work here. And thank you for your comment on My First Serial Killer. It's been quite a while since I read The Collector, but I like your connection. Thank you for jostling my thinking on my story.
