Peter Brinch

Peter Brinch was born in Anaheim, California, on August 7, 1968. At the age of four, his mother remarried a Dane, and the family moved to Denmark. Peter grew up amidst the peaceful groves of birch and oak that dotted the green hills of the Danish countryside, forgetting most of his English. He was sometimes struck by the stark, overcast skies of the long winters, the snow idle and blanketing the fields. Aesthetics would later be a subject of high interest for Peter, as well as other philosophical ideas such as metaphysics and epistemology. Peter eventually earned a BA degree in comparative literature from the University of Washington, Seattle, USA. However, his thirst for the truth led him beyond the halls of academia – into the spiritual domain. With a new-age, ex-Catholic mother and a strict atheist father, Peter was an agnostic for most of his life. In 2000, Peter became a born-again Christian, and some of his poetry reflects his walk with Christ since then. Peter now lives in Port Townsend, Washington, dreaming of buying an aquarium and perhaps adopting a cat from the animal shelter. He remains unmarried.
