| About Elisa |
ELISA HATEGAN is a young
Canadian writer, visual artist
and editor/publisher whose
works of poetry, fiction &
critical writing have been
published in numerous literary
publications throughout North
America, Europe and Asia.
Some of her selective poetry
has appeared in several literary
magazines that include The
Fiddlehead and Grain Magazine.
Between 1998-2002 she published two
poetry chapbooks, Daughters of Modena
and Carpathian Birthmarks. In the spring
of 2006 she published her first volume of
poetry, Remnants of Sunlight. Based on a
lengthly journey through Poland, Hungary
and Transylvania, this collection brings
together lost memories of a forgotten
past.
Elisa is presently working on two books.
Works in progress include a novel which
targets the little-known underground
world of competitive fencing, and a work
of creative non-fiction about a multi-
generational family, hidden secrets and
oppression under the dictatorial regime of
Romania's Nicolae Ceausescu.
Born in Eastern Europe, Elisa came to
Canada as a child and has since lived on
four continents: her adventures include a
year-long stint as an English teacher in
Seoul, South Korea, a sojourn in the
south of Spain, and another year wasted
backpacking through the dusty corners of
Europe and north Africa.
In addition to her books, Elisa has
contributed articles, essays and
photographs to various print and digital
media, as well as assisted with the partial
translation from Romanian of a renowned
Roma activist's autobiography.
Biggest influences: Federico Garcia Lorca,
Rainer Maria Rilke, Italo Calvino, Arthur
Rimbaud, Anna Akhmatova, Irving
Layton, Leonard Cohen, Henry Miller,
Sylvia Plath.
