Elizabeth Anne Hin has been a student of world spirituality and cultures since youth. Ms. Hin studied poetry formally with George E. Dimock, Richard Wilbur, William Hoover Van Voris, Michael Benedikt, Elizabeth Hardwick, Sir Stephen Spender and Joseph Brodsky. Her parents read poetry aloud from 'A Child's Garden of Verses' by Robert Louis Stevenson and from other beloved texts from her conception through childhood. Her Father taught her through his admiration for Homer's life, work and virtuous message, from the world's classics and histories, and from noble and heroic peoples and cultures of all nations. He practiced his faith in the equality of all men and women, and in all aspiration: 'Ad astra per aspera,' ~Seneca. Her Mother was a deeply private living example of this virtue. Beth has embraced poetry, from reading to writing, since youth, from observing in gratitude the poetry infused in sculpture at Wellington's port in New Zealand to readings by Jorge Luis Borges at the 92nd Street Y in New York, Adrienne Rich in a hallowed hall of Amherst, Massachusetts, Drummond Hadley and Gary Snyder in Anchorage, Alaska, Mary Oliver at a Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas. She has been shown kindness in mentoring by writers from John Updike to Carlos Fuentes, Richard Erdoes to Derek Walcott; to W. S. Merwin showing to her a poem he wrote at age twenty-one when Beth was twenty-one, and expressing that he had written nearly every day since that age, and might she please do the same. She was deeply mentored by many Spiritual Elders, including: Moses Peters of the Kutchin Athabascan, Martha Neck of the Y'upik Eskimo, Thomas and Fermina Banyakya and Dan Evehema of Hopi. Other Elder mentors include Jojay and Frances Suazo of Taos Pueblo, Zulu High Sanusi Credo Mutwa, Zimbabwean Falasha Rabbi Ambrose Makuwaza, Archbishop Menuard 'Doc' Slusher, Thien Abbot Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, and revered American scholar Huston Smith. Beth was adopted at Iroquois Grandmother Twylah Nitsch's formal request, 'She Whose Voice Travels Upon the Wind.'
