Phoebe Nilsen

Phoebe (Watson) Nilsen was born in Egypt to Egyptian parents, despite the fact that her name does not reflect that. Her family moved to Canada the summer she turned fifteen. Phoebe completed her education and worked in Canada and the US, but she now lives in Norway, where she has lived longer than anywhere else. Prior to retirement, she spent over 20 years teaching English to Norwegian English teachers and teacher trainees. "Without a Kiss" is her debut chapbook, published in 2018 by Finishing Line Press.
