about this author
Zinta Aistars is a bilingual writer; her first language was Latvian. Home is a place with two horizons. She is a citizen of both Latvia and the United States, frequently traveling back and forth across the ocean. Indeed, both her poetry and prose often reflect a longing for Home that eludes her - while in one place, she longs for the other...
Zinta is founder and editor-in-chief of the online literary magazine, The Smoking Poet. (Join our fan page here at Goodreads, too!) Zinta works as publications editor and writer for a health care organization in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Although Zinta's first three published books are in Latvian (a poetry collection, a collection of short stories and a novella, and a children's book), she also writes in English and her work has appeared in many publications. She is currently at work on a novel and a poetry collection, both in English.
And she still longs for Home.
(Zinta lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, works in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and plans to retire to the Keweenaw in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.)
