Elizabeth Kaida

Elizabeth has been a bookstore loiterer, musician, poetry archivist, English second language tutor, and architecture administrative assistant.

She is inspired by the weird—decayed railroad tracks running into and at the bottom of lakes—music and strangers on public transportation—and by what she reads. 

Copious amounts of tea graduated Elizabeth from San Francisco State University with her MA and MFA in Creative Writing. Her poetry has been published in The Bohemian at NDNU and her first novel in progress won runner-up for the Clark-Gross Novel award. She currently resides and writes in LA California drinking tea and typing words.
