Anna Kirchstein was a writer, poet, and translator from Germany who later moved to the US. On the occasion of Kirchstein's 70th birthday in 1918, a newspaper article praises the poet for her work as a translator:
Mit formvollendeten Uebertragungen aus dem Englischen hat Frau Kirchstein sich den Besten des deutsch-amerikanischen Dichterhimmels ebenbürtig zur Seite gestellt. Wie sie die zwingende Stimmung und den packenden Rhythmus des Poeschen "Raben" meistert, das reicht an die geniale Uebertragung durch Dr. Ernst Schmidt heran. [With her perfectly formed translation from English, Ms. Kirchstein has placed herself on an equal footing with the best of the German-American poets. The way in which she masters the compelling mood and the gripping rhythm of Poe's "Raven" comes close to the ingenious translation by Dr. Ernst Schmidt.]
