'''Sarah Kirsch''' (born April 16, 1935) is a [[Germany|German]] poet.
She was born '''Ingrid Bernstein''' in [[Hohenstein, Thuringia|Limlingerode]], [[Prussian Saxony]]. She changed her first name to Sarah in order to protest against her father's [[anti-semitism]]. She studied biology in [[University of Halle-Wittenberg|Halle]] and literature at the Johannes R. Becher Institute for Literature in [[University of Leipzig|Leipzig]]. In 1965, she married the writer Rainer Kirsch. She protested against [[East Germany]]'s expulsion of [[Wolf Biermann]] in 1976. One year later she left the country herself, nevertheless being critical of the west as well. She is mainly known for her poetry, but she also writes prose and has translated children's books into German
