Elizabeth Esris
Librettist
Biography
Librettist Elizabeth Esris is a poet who lives and works in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Her poetry is heard in local readings and has appeared in The Bucks County Writer. In 2004 she collaborated with Sergio Cervetti on a musical accompaniment to her poem, Winter Garden. They began work on Elegy For A Prince a short time later; it was her first libretto. She and Cervetti are currently working on an opera based on the story of Gilles de Rais and a theater piece, Otherqueers, that explores the world of a character who has Asperger's syndrome. Esris teaches English in the Central Bucks School District in Bucks, County, Pennsylvania. She has a B.A. in English from La Salle University and an M.Ed. from Arcadia University. She is a fellow of The Pennsylvania Writing Project and her work has appeared in a number of its publications. An essay, "The Forest and the Tree" was included in My First Year as a Teacher published by Signet, a division of Penguin Books, in 1996. She founded and was editor for eleven years of Opus, an award winning art and literary magazine for students.
